That way, if I\u2019m not the mood for one subject, I can always pause and turn to another. Sometimes, I\u2019m compelled toward one thing. Sometimes, I feel scattered. Sometimes, I know it will do good to read something that I\u2019m not necessarily passionate about so I\u2019ll intermingle it with something I enjoy more.

I personally read one at a time so I can really soak everything I read. It is not a competition on &quot;how many books can you read?&quot; It is about finding meaning, learning and refugee in books.
