That feeling when you read a good book and you want to suggest everyone read it.
How to read two books at once? I do it this way: I take one more serious and the other for dessert. And until I did not read at least twenty pages a day more serious book, I can’t touch dessert one.
But this time it happened that Elif Shafak’s “Black Milk”, dessert book, had been intact for a week, and I fell completely into the Buddha’s biography. Thanks to this book, I discovered Karen Armstrong, a former nun and zealous Catholic who graduated from Oxford in 2008. winning the $ 100,000 TED Prize and has written numerous books on religious studies. Judging by how objectively and not boringly she described the life of Buddha, I guess she could become one of my favorite authors.
I am not a very religious person although I consider myself a Christian. I always wondered why people believe in religious dogmas written thousands of years ago. Now, after reading about Buddas biography, I already searched for The Prophet Muhammad: A Biography on Amazon. May it will help me understand why people believe in different gods?
But it is not about religion, it is about books.

Now I like to read my books one at a time. I had enough at school especially university when I was always reading more than one book at a time
I usually read more than one book in one time, but it must be two different genre. Usually, I mixed between fantasy and contemporary.
I used to do that a lot when I went to the library. I would usually pick a novel and non-fiction, or two non-fiction books to read at once. Two novels might be confusing unless they are very different genres.
I only read one book at a time.
I do good to read one book rarely!
Besides, right now I am not reading, I have already read two books at once.
Technically, I am currently reading five. One fiction, one non-fiction and three PDFs for research or entertainment.
I try to always have two books in process. One for entertainment and one for education.
no never read any two books at once
