In the middle of the day, do you immediately (or as soon as possible) pick up another?

As I'm finishing one, I'm picking up another one to start.

>>if it's a book by an author I'm familiar with, I usually devour it in one sitting and then promptly reread it again


That's not something I've ever done, tho I was really tempted to do so with Tuesdays with Morrie.

Great question ! I can recall only a few times where i loved the book so much that i had to go back and re-read some of it or just sit there and soak in what i've read ... but usually i just dont have the patience and i need to keep reading so i pickup another book immediately. I'll often have a couple of books waiting there for me to decide which one to start up next. The only time I dont is when I am finishing a book in bed and ready to sleep anyway ...

If you've only got a couple waiting, you're doing waaaaaaaay better than me

I usually wait till the next day -- maybe even a couple of days, if the book really stayed with me, and I feel like savoring it a bit more before I start another.

How long of a break do you think you'll need once you've finished your current book?

Well, I finally finished it (notice the new avatar!), and it was very good, if you like that series,

It all depends on what type of book I have finished if it was kind of a difficult read I will sometimes wait until the next day or wait a couple of days to start a new one.
