I usually read two books, but that's usually one fiction and one nonfiction. I have a harder time reading multiple fiction books at once because I can get a little confused.

I also read on my Kindle a lot, sometimes listen to audiobooks, and read a ton of print books, of course!

I usually have one 'serious' (i.e. probably school-related) book on the go for months on end, plus a succession of novels, plus an ebook on my ipod for when I'm stranded without paper books, plus I like to listen to audiobooks at night. So, er, yes, very much a polyamorous reader. :)

I used to read a lot of books at the same time, which usually ended with none of them being read to the end. Now I'm trying to stick to two books, one I keep at work to read during lunch and stuff, and one that I read everywhere else aka my main book.

And I mostly read print books, because I love the feeling of holding one and they are pretty. Sometimes I listen to audiobooks, but that's rare, because they are usually too slow for me or the person reading is doing a poor job on actually reading it.

I often have one book on the go in my livingroom, another upstairs, and another in my purse, so I can read a bit before work or wherever. Sometimes I also have an audiobook that I listen to for a few minutes at a time as I'm getting ready in the mornings. It all depends on which one I'm in the mood for at any given time.

I'm actually guilty of this right now. I started an ebook of Doyle's Sign of the Four and then decided I want to reread House of Leaves (which I believe only comes on paper) because my boyfriend just replaced the copy I had (which he had accidentally completely destroyed). The destruction of my original copy made me so upset that I knew I just had to read it again as soon as possible, so it's not that I set out to be unfaithful to Sir Arthur, it just sort of happened.
