[QUOTE="KahlessNestor, post: 8522713, member: 6801311"] I cycle through the stack, reading in one book a day. Usually can get about 30 pages or more read on that day, depending on the book. On the weekends (which I hadn't really had during the holidays, working every day for a straight month), I tend to stick with one book for the entire weekend. This weekend I got quite a bit of [I]Concrete Blonde[/I] read, maybe a fourth of it. And then some days a book will just grab me and instead of watching something on streaming, I'll just stick with reading the book for the day. I do the Goodreads challenge, and I managed 47/45 books for last year, so I made my goal. I bumped it to 50 for this year, and am currently one book ahead. My big problem is "Oh, I want to read that and not wait forever!" so I throw it on the stack. I just ordered [I]The Last Duel[/I] for that very reason. [I]sigh[/I] Yes, I have a problem... I have run into the problem of trying to keep things straight, and a few years ago I did ditch my stack to always read only one book. But then I just got books piling up and piling up and never getting read, and new authors coming out with books I have to read. So I started the new stack trying to keep things more contained by limiting to one book of a genre, so one fantasy book, one history book, etc. Obviously that hasn't stuck...
