How many books do you read at a time?

[Dodo25]

At the moment I'm reading six books. The problem is whenever I buy a new one, I must start reading it on the way home, and then I'm already hooked so I'll keep reading it until I find I must continue one of the others, and so on.

Six is an extreme for me though, normally it is 3-4. And in the last year I haven't even read that many books, I don't have much time anymore About 1-2 a month I would say..

I usually read one "main" book at a time, but mix in reading content from other sources along the way (articles, essays, readings from books on subjects I'm "studying"). This is frequently accompanied by a couple of audiobooks, normally of contrasting genres. It's the only way I can keep things straight.
