I think one of the best moves I’ve made this year was to allow myself to read multiple book at once. I used to think you had to finish one before starting another, and if I got stuck with a slow book I would end just up not reading at all for awhile. But now I keep American Rose at my parents, and the Red Tent at the shore, and pick them up whenever I’m there. They would have both been a struggle for me to get through all at once but I’m making more progress by walking away from them for periods of time and coming back. I’m starting Less Than Zero tonight.
