Then I had kids and had to bag that idea. I also read multiple books at a time. I would have to add a "chucked across the room because it was so horrible" list (a really bad habit, I know) and a "put it down but never quite picked it up list" too.Jaime Thelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12442679809704484650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-38811742810414160272008-06-03T14:17:00.000-07:002008-06-03T14:17:00.000-07:00Hey!!!

And I have a similar problem with HAVING to finish a book that I start, even if I'm not enjoying it at all. (I'm the same way with TV shows, sadly enough.) As for the multiple book thing, I pretty much stick with just my scriptures and one book, MAYBE two. I'm not clever enough for more than that, I guess!Brillighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694582598855276158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-16922875500182393962008-06-03T11:06:00.000-07:002008-06-03T11:06:00.000-07:00Book surfing!

I have no problem putting a book down if I'm only a chapter or two into it.<BR/>As far as reading multiple books, keeping track of them is no harder than keeping track of what's going on with your parents and your siblings and your in-laws.

Now I do a lot better because I can choose and there is no one requiring me to read them. I also have a hard time reading a lot of books because I just can't like the characters and I don't want to continue to read something I hate. I also usually have several books that I am reading and several more that I intend to finish, but haven't picked up in a while.

I have to be careful to keep track of them or else they wander off with one of the teenagers and I never see them again.<BR/><BR/>I compare it to channel surfing. My husband can change the channel every few minutes and keep track of several shows. I figure book surfing is better because I don't have to put the book down until the end of a chapter.Stephanie Humphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553998075443712084noreply@blogger.com
