I find if I choose two radically different subjects, or genres, it is less challenging and doesn’t feel overwhelming. For instance, I was reading ‘The Republic’ by Plato and ‘The Nasty Bits’ by Anthony Bourdain last time.
Now I am reading ‘Prequel’ by Rachel Maddow (non-fiction) and ‘The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store’ by James McBride (fiction).
Are you a two-timer?
Lol. Two books in one kindle. Reading a chapter of one then switching to other and reading a chapter. Rinse. Repeat.
