I try to always have three books in progress that I cycle between—one fiction, one history, and one science. I think they’re complementary and mutually-enriching modes of engaging with the world.
So, you read more than one book at the same time? I do that all the time and I am kind of embarrassed to say it, but glad I'm not alone. I am currently reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King and I have JUST finished reading Occidentalism_ The West in the Eyes of Its Enemies, and now have just the novel alone. NGL, it has been pretty nice so far
I do. Most of my reading is audiobook, but I usually have one fiction and one nonfiction on ebook going depending on my mood.
And that's separate from coding/actual textbooks, and other "how to" stuff I don't track on goodreads (for no particularly valid reason), which I also usually have a couple going.
Hello, fellow programmer 👋🏽 I do the how tos and code learning during my work day.
lol that category is broad too. There are actual textbooks (mostly math/physics), stuff like the food lab, stuff like gardening, random carpentry/home repair/landscaping, and all kinds of other random stuff. Nowhere near all of it gets applied, but those are all separate (probably because I don't read them start to finish like I would fiction or other nonfiction) and I don't really track them at all. It's kind of arbitrary when you stop to think about it, though.
