Multi-reading

I normally read one book at a time. Immersed, I normally read start to finish. But should it be too long and stretch into another day, it’s the only written word that has my attention. However, in a new-found vein of multi-reading I find myself going at three books right now. Not all at the same time, but, the three have very nicely slotted themselves into my daily routine. Sir Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children is when I’m on the throne. Gunmen and Gangsters, A History of Crime is before I sleep and The Economist (a mag) during the day.
