Reading Two Books At Once: Currently Reading
Saturday, August 22, 2015
I'm reading two books at once. Or at least trying to. It's not the easiest, but I just want to read both so much that I am making an attempt. I borrowed Norwegian Wood from the ebook library and also have Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.
I have to admit I am more engaged with Norwegian Wood; there's something gripping about Murakami's writing, which is good because this is my first Murakami. And while I am liking Blood Meridian, maybe I have to be in a certain mood for something as dark as McCarthy's style?

Reading multiple books at once is something I do. Not as often these days though cause life stuff makes it hard to focus on just one book at once, but if I read the book fast I can usually read another one immediately afterward. Recently got through these three serials, different parts of the same novella, that way in one day.
ReplyDeleteNice! I wish I could do that, but I just get too distracted. I think reading novellas are a great idea though.
DeleteIf I am going through a reading spree, I generally have multiple books going on at once. Otherwise, it's just one at a time. Norwegian Wood is on my wishlist - hopefully sooner than later.
ReplyDeleteNorwegian Wood is so well-written! I hope you read it.
DeleteJillian, I can do it but they have to be really dissimilar from one another; otherwise, I get the characters mixed up and forget which details belong to which story line - ha! I have terrible short-term memory problems! I've not begun reading Murakami, but I think I'd like to; you're inspiring me to jump in!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely try it! Murakami is a strange writer, but I think that's the appeal!
DeleteI can usually start two books, but once I'm really into one story, I tend to focus solely on that book until I finish it. I will sometimes have several books going at once, just in the early stages, as I try to gauge what mood I'm in. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think I'm like that too. I try different books, and then decide.
DeleteI guess I usually read one book at a time. But these days I'm reading one book and listening to an audiobook which I find works.
ReplyDeleteAudiobooks are a great idea!
DeleteI've never been able to read two books at the same time. I've tried in the past but inevitably I end up reading very little or just focusing on one and forgetting the other. To be honest from what I've heard about Blood Meridian it seems like a good you have to really dedicate yourself to so it's probably not a good one to reading conjunction with another, especially a book as absorbing as Norwegian Wood.
ReplyDeleteI've tried to read two books at this time but inevitably I end up reading , just to focusing on One Book
