Beside my bed I have always had a stack of books. They are books that I am currently reading, books that I plan to read, and books that I want to just look over in case I decide to read them. Many people think that you can only read one book at a time. But that's not me! I could be reading all kinds of books at the same time and switch back and forth between them with ease.
Let's think of it this way: Do you only watch one program at night and then turn off the t.v.? What if that program is a "to be continued" show? Do you not watch another show until that one is completely finished? What about the people who channel surf? Or the people who watch a baseball game and golf game and a car race all at the same time, surfing from one to the other?
That's me. I'm a book surfer. I like to read various genres at the same time. Right now I am reading two and just finished another one. Our book club is reading: Little Bee by Chris Cleave. That is fiction. I was a little shocked at the ending by the way! A fellow district coach recommended: Work Hard, Be Nice by Jay Matthews. That is nonfiction. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but I can't stop reading it! The last book I am reading is one that just looked interesting and a friend said they read it and enjoyed it. I needed a book to just enjoy and not have to think too hard, so I am also reading: The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly. That is fiction, too. (My friend was right. I am really enjoying it a lot!)
So, don't be afraid to read more than one book at a time. Don't be afraid to read more than one genre at a time. Just don't be afraid to read and read and read!!!
HAPPY READING!
