Is it a good or bad thing to read more than one book at a time? Do you guys do it?
this picture is so upsetting
in answer to your question, i like to have one or more collections of short stories on the go as well as whatever longer work of fiction i'm reading. i can balance multiple narratives. i can even keep up with multiple television shows at once as well

When I was a kid and most of what I read was easy-tier "here kid learn how to read" type stuff, I would often have more than one book going at a time. I can remember one time during school when I had like four different books going, maybe a narnia here, a John Bellairs there, and a goosebumps and I thought "damn, I'm reading a lot."
Later I read some /lit/ tier things for personal pleasure, and histories and philosophy and some STEM stuff for college. Unfortunately, after college I worked long hours, and between that and the internet there was a long period of my life where I barely read anything for pleasure that wasn't some internet article.
Happily I have been in NEET-dom for a time, and during this time I have re-learned how to read. I have found that it's nice to have more than one thing on the burner, again, as you're reading different things (which isn't hard), and it seems to be a bit more stimulating than just sticking with one thing. Cross-pollenate, a bit. There are like 2-4 unfinished things on my shelf with bookmarks in them at present.
I think once you're in the hang of it it's good to have two books going on, concurrently. Even if one is some difficult or unpleasant piece of autism that you are doing largely to be able to say that you did (Kant, Habermas, that type of thing is what I mean, and don't pretend like you don't read /partly/ for this reason, because you and I both know we do)

i like to read an easy short book if i'm reading something difficult and long
I restrict myself to only read two books simultaneously. If I read more than that I have a tendency of not finishing them all.

Same. Sometimes it's nice to break up that wall of text with something lighter, then I can come back to it feeling a little refreshed.

I usually read one fiction and one non-fiction at a time. If I start a second fiction book or second non-fiction book, I'll usually end up not finishing the first, or waiting so long that I might as well start over again.
I'll often blast through a few short stories while reading a book though.
I read multiple non-fiction books simultaneously all the time. With fiction I prefer to limit myself to just one at a time
Hope the lion wasn't hurt btw

prolly photoshop. no conceivable reason that the mgm thing would need to be transparent, ie seen in reverse, like that

It's a picture of a lion in a CT machine for a medical scan, someone photoshopped the MGM thing on it
Just google "CT machine lion" and you'll see pictures from the other side, too

I suppose it depends on you. I'm currently reading four.
Teaching as a Subversive Activity only when I poop.
The Sane Society on computer at work.
The Importance of Living and Appointment in Samara whenever I feel like it.
4 total, usually only read two per day.
