Curious if any of you read several books simultaneously? I keep a stack handy and pick up whichever book suits my mood at the moment

I also must admit that I've been reading books I enjoyed in my childhood - everything from Tom Swift to Dr Doolittle.
Tom Swift was a boy's "science"/adventure series. Hack writing with stereotypical characters. But escape is nice sometimes.
When you hear "Dr Doolittle", please don't think about any of the movies (horrors! Nothing like the books, as is typical of hollywood). I've managed to find most of the books from pre mid-fifties editions. Forget the modern politically correct versions. I've found the books on e-bay (one came from Ireland).

It can happen that I read one psychology book and a novel in the same time, but not more. Like having dessert after a meal ! Since English is a second language I need more concentration. I read faster in French.

All the time, I usually have at least one non fiction, one horror and one comic novel going at any one time before I even start on my internet reading.

Posted by ReignmondI read this back in 2018. Absolutely loved it. It is an oddly small sized book, so it is good to travel with. [amazon.com]
