I’ve become a book slut.
That is, I used to be very book monogamous. I’d read one, maybe two if one of the titles was nonfiction, and slowly consume the one book over a course of days. It was slow and nice and very focused.
Suddenly, I want to read multiple titles at once. I have started reading one book, stopping in the middle, starting another, and maybe yet another. I read them in jags. Then I finish one and finish the next and finish the last. And it all works. I thought initially that I wouldn’t be able to keep them compartmentalized in my brain, but I could keep track of many TV shows, so why not books?
I’ve started doing this now, after thirty-odd years of living on this planet and being able to read, and my book consumption has gone up. Which is good, because my to-read pile is dangerously high.
