how do you feel about reading more than one book at the same time?
re books made to be read one at a time or is it okay to swap between them?

i started reading the wheel of time but with 800 pages i started to read some easy slop between chapters

I usually have a big Collected Poems I'm working through a couple of poems a day, while spending most of my reading time reading novels or individual collections straight through

I have ten audiobooks I cycle through between podcasts at work. Currently reading two physical books, and I alternate at the end of each part. I don't see anything wrong with it, and it actually helps retention because I'm making myself recall what I previously heard rather than plowing through to the next chapter.
