Yet Another Random Poll(tm)

[coraa]

Yet another just for my own curiosity poll! This one is about book reading.

(I realize that 'at one time' is ambiguous, and someone is going to make a smart remark about the number of hands and eyeballs they have. What I mean is: how may books can you comfortably have currently in progress -- can you read two chapters of one, and then the next day two chapters of another, or do you need to read sequentially?)

I normally have at least three books going: lighter (mentally and physically) fiction which I can carry around easily; heavier fiction which requires more attention; and something non-fiction, also requiring more concentration. Sometimes I also have an anthology or something else which can be broken up into small chunks: right now it's a literary history of the Victorians.

Something like this, only not quite so schematic in practice, and the heavy fiction is more often than not poetry.
