Sequential vs Parallel!

Do you read books in parallel or sequentially?
In other words, do you read more than one book at a time? Or would you rather finish one book before starting another?

    Parallel - often on related subjects, but not always.

    For books, sequential. I prefer to finish one before starting another so everytime I have time to read, I'll pick up the same one.
    For products and side-projects, in parallel (and the number is biiiig 🤣)

      I hear you!!! I always do the side-projects buffet, just because one is never enough! 🤣

    I have an audiobook I do in the car, a daily meditation book, and a regular book that I read when I have some free time. I never do more than one audiobook and one regular book at a time, and they’re usually drastically different.

      Cool! I personaly prefer podcasts over audiobooks! My current goal is to read a book evry two weeks!

    I don't try (too hard) to finish a book. If I find an interesting reference related to the topic, I jump to that. And I keep on hopping around.

    One for work and one for fun. That's probably one more than is advisable.

    Parallel. 5-6 at the same time

      wow, this seems like a lot! how do you manage not confusing book subjects or getting lost!
