Book or Books?

Daily writing prompt
What book are you reading right now?

However strange it may seem, my reading usually involves multiple books at the same time. No, I’m not a marathon reader, nor do I have magic eyeballs that let me read two books simultaneously.

When I say that I read multiple books, what I mean is that I have trouble only reading a single book, one by one.

I read my bible each morning, and then I usually have between one and three other books that I take turns with, chapter by chapter. If it’s a fun fiction, I might power read through it, burying myself under blankets with a cup of tea.

My problem is, of you wish to consider it a dilemma, I don’t usually read simple stories. I have a passion for the really big Saga stories, for diving deep into something, and/or reading on topics that really make you think about what lies beneath the words written. This means I have to take a break from a tougher topic, long enough for it’s meaning to sink in, if you know what I mean.

Right now, I’m reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, as well as the Dragonlance Chronicles by Margarette Weis and Tracy Hickman. The first is not an easy read, and the second is an action packed, imaginative Fantasy series with everything from elves to mighty knights in shining armor, riding on the backs of silver dragons.

I know it seems like a rather odd combination, but hey… don’t judge this Willy Wonka brain! I can’t help it… it’s just what I do.

Here, take one or two of my cookies…

You can dip them in your coffee or tea. Happy reading!

  1. I often bounce between books as well. I love this screw tape letters! I’m not sure if I like that one or the great divorce better but they’re both amazingly clever

  2. I tend to be “working on” or maybe “chewing on” either several books at a time or none at all. Currently, it’s mostly just textbooks or required reading. Sigh…

    Thanks for the cookie!
