Thread Name: BS: Reading books in parallel
Subject: RE: BS: Reading books in parallel
I only read one at a ime, literally speaking, but I sometimes have five in train at once, and move from one to another depending on mood, convenience, or the tide of interest.
River of Doubt, a wonderful descriptions of Teddy Roosevelt's nearly fatal adventures exploring the Amazon basin, plus a book describing a 19th century pioneer's explorations of eastern Africa, plus a couple of others on Africa, plus one on the mind-set and passages of someone going through a gender-switch program, are all current. Plus I just finished Grisham's latest novel which is a new direction for him, about an Arkansas sharesropping family and the perspective of the youngest boy in the family in the days just before rural electrificatin. Great read.
