Thanks for visiting with me at my desk yesterday!
I forgot to mention another book I am reading now, which is And Their Dogs Came With Them, by Helena Maria Viramontes. She's the author of "The Moths" and many other short stories. Her stories are authentic - I feel they transfer me to the barrios about which she so touchingly writes. When I am reading her I can practically smell the food her characters are cooking... and I agonize with them over their struggles.
Here is a question for you!! The world is divided into two types of people: those that read several books at a time, and those that like to finish one before starting the next.
Which one are you? I am seriously curious as to other people's reading habits...

Hi Barby! I used to always finish one book before I started the next. But recently (last 6 mos) I have begun reading multiple books at a time. It's harder because you have to do a little "review" each time but I can't just choose one anymore!

Melissa! Thanks for stopping by... This post got a bunch of interesting comments on Facebook.It made me realize that for a lot of us the answer varies depending on our current circumstances!
Happy reading!!
Well, if I really read that much anymore, I'd have more to say! I tend to plop on the couch and watch TV to relax from sitting at the desk doing translations. But when I do read, I have to read single-file, one at a time; otherwise, I would never finish anything!
