    I'm reading 4 at the moment but I prefer to read one at a time. I just have a few books on the radar and have them in different places

    Number of books being read at once was very accurate guage of how stressed and neurotic I was back in my 30s and 40s. 3 was livable, could still be productive, 5 or 6 meant I was approaching catotonia! Once tried reading straight down the shelf in university library to see if I could beat Thomas Wolfe's record, during law school. I couldn't, but did get good grades that semester!

    I'm reading Nomadland which is about folks living in RVs due to their economic circumstances. I also just finished an audio book called a Long Way Home, about a boy who got lost in India when he was five and then was adopted and went to Australia. Pretty good, true story.

    I’m actually rereading for the 1000th time (first time being 8 years old), The Hobbit. It is still one of my absolute favorites.

    Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue. I'm only about a fourth of the way through, but so far it's the best book I've read in a long time.

    Currently reading Wuthering Heights in spurts because sometimes the characters are just too much to handle. Like, can you just relax for a second?

    In my old age I have devolved almost entirely to non fiction. Always loved history and now have time t o explore science and space.

    One of the great advantages of old age, neh?

    I have lots of books started and am in the process of finishing them all up before I start a new one. (Somehow I get distracted and a book catches my eye and I just start it before finishing what I am reading.)

    Now:
    The Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss (it was mentioned earlier)
    The Story of Edgar Sawtelle - David Wroblewski
    Weight Training for Dummies - But this one I may not finish right away, just read off and on
