cannot read one book at a time
i want to stick to one book at a time, but i just can't.
i keep telling myself i'll pick one and see it through. i never do. instead, i end up reading three or four books at the same time.
i usually have four books in rotation:
- the current book club pick
- a fiction novel
- a classic
- and a non-fiction book
some days i crave the mental challenge. other days i just want to get lost in a story, so i switch to the fiction book.
the thing is, i don't like it.
i want to immerse myself in one book, finish it, and then move on to the next. but that never seems to happen. i wonder whether my attention span has become that short, or if this is just how i read now.
