RE: NOTES FROM AN AMATEUR WRITER #51 - Some Of The Books That I Am Reading
I love this! I keep track of my reading on paper, in the back of a journal...but I like holding myself accountable on places like steemit (not a goodreads user personally!). I'm curious: when you say "currently reading", how do you divide your time? Do you just dip in and out of those books as you feel it? Or do you read a bit of each of them each day? Keep one by the bed and one by the toilet?? Personally, I never have more than three going at a time. One in audiobook format, usually one big hefty thing that's taking me around a month, and one shorter novel which I'm flying through.
I have only started using Goodreads, so I find it helpful now, but I like to keep track of my reading in other ways too. Journal, especially, with notes, ideas, etc inspired from my reading.
As for current reading, this can be broken up between a few books I read everyday, and some I read weekly. At the moment 1Q84 is taking th bulk of my reading attention, as it is a long and time consuming read. And enthralling as well. Occasionally I will dip into some of the others. My reading attention span can seem a little scattered to some, but I generally flip between books often.
I do most of my reading on a Kindle these days, due to its ease of transportation, and storage. It took me a long time to embrace this technological shift, but once i did my reading rate actually almost doubled. I think because I need to have access to multiple books at once, to satisfy my often temperamental reading moods!
Thanks for the thoughtful answer! I'm always fascinated by different people's reading habits, especially people who actually have a reading habit ;)
I have the same fascination. I try to learn what I can from other avid readers also, as there is so much about this topic I have yet to learn.
