I was wondering if this is something common people do or if you prefer reading one book at a time.

I usually just read one at a time and move on to the next or take a break from reading, but at the moment I want to try and clear my backlog of books I have but reading one at a time is not really working out for me and was wondering how people manage multiple books at a time.

I keep three books going at a time. Two are almost always different genera, or fiction vs nonfiction. The last is low priority stuff. The exceptions are where one work really grabs my complete attention, or something that requires intense close study.

My impression of "common people" readers is they fall into one of two patterns. Either uncomplicated novelette sized works, or an uncompromising obsession with a single genera trash series.

>how people manage multiple books at a time?

As harried undergraduates are forced to do, so can you. Unless you are willing to adopt a nineteenth century lifestyle, the greatest issue readers face today is competition for our attention span. Modern trends favoring an attention deficit lifestyle can be combated by bouncing between two books featuring different themes, styles, authors.

I like to read two at a time, something shorter than 200 pages and something longer. This lets me work through longer works while maintaining some variety.

Yes.

In theory I'm reading about 63 at the moment

Lately I’ve had a habit of getting through a third or half of a book, then I end up putting it down, and starting another book for some reason. I’m working on finishing one book at a time so I can better appreciate the book.

I do this. I read mainly nonfiction books, with one or two fiction books on the side. I read a chapter a day of a book (usually 3-5 books) to better absorb the information.
