How does /lit/ like this stack of books lying next to me that I'm currently reading?

>reading more than one book
I don't know how anyone could possibly do this
>>8125732
OP here. I'm reading all of those, with the exception of The Subterraneans, Big Sur, and The Religion of the Ancient Celts. I'm also reading Dune. That's it. The Dharma Bums is my main book at the moment.

Don't you mess up the plots on your mind? I said that mostly as a prank but I never actually considered reading more than one book. Also, won't you just ruin the flow of your reading by just reading the book you're enjoying the most? I imagine that, if done right, reading more than one book can make you read more since you can change the book when you get bored or tired, tho.

Thats a lot of mythologyical shit, might want to nab this while you are at it
>>8125732
Bom livro, mas tu deve ser um baita dum viadão.
>>8125857
O que te faz pensar isso?
>>8125876
Essa coisa em cima do livro e essa necessidade de mostrar outras coisas que não o livro.
>>8125896
Essa coisa fica ali mesmo, não faria sentido eu tirar, o resto foi só pra dar pra ver a caneta que eu uso pra marcar o livro mesmo. Realmente, não era necessário, deixo de lado da próxima vez. Desculpe a inexperiência

I can read multiple books at a time if they're all drastically different and style and content. So like generally I'll be reading a book of philosophy, a novel, a collection of short stories, and maybe a poetry collection.

you literally had a picture with his name spelled correctly in front of you when you wrote this.

I'm thinking of buying that Ginsberg collection. I bought "The Essential Ginsberg" and really enjoyed it. It has poems, letters, essays, and interviews.

You don't like poetry?
Complaint of the Skeleton to Time
Take my love, it is not true,
So let it tempt no body new;
Take my lady, she will sigh
For my bed where’er I lie;
Take them, said the skeleton,
But leave my bones alone.
Take my raiment, now grown cold,
To give to some poor poet old;
Take the skin that hoods this truth
If his age would wear my youth;
Take them, said the skeleton,
But leave my bones alone.
Take the thoughts that like the wind
Blow my body out of mind;
Take this heart to go with that
And pass it on from rat to rat;
Take them, said the skeleton,
But leave my bones alone.
Take the art which I bemoan
In a poem’s crazy tone;
Grind me down, though I may groan,
To the starkest stick and stone;
Take them, said the skeleton,
But leave my bones alone.
Early 1949

I tend to read a novel and a graphic novel at the same time. But I'm a pleb so ignore me.

Sometimes I lose interest in a book I'm reading, or gain new interest in another book. This usually ends up in me reading both back and forth.
