Blog Hop – Do you read only one book at a time, or do you have several going at once?
Answer: Multiple books at one time, however, reflecting on this question may have highlighted a slight problem. A recent day in the reading life of one of the Two Bibliomaniacs can be found below:The Pickwick Papers – MP3 while getting ready for work in the morning.
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell – Book on CD while driving to and from work.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz – Nightly bedtime story read with 5 year old son.
The Hole in Our Gospel – Night time spiritual growth read.
Titan Groan – Night time fiction read.
On paper 5 books could almost seem like too many. In practice the key word is almost...
Follow Friday – How did you come up with your blog name?
Answer: Our blog name was decided during a late night internet search of book terms. Our hope was to incorporate the term Bibliophile (love of books) into our name; however most variants were already taken. This led us down a dark path of book obsession terms. In the end we decided against Bibliophagy (book-eating) and Bibliotaphy (book-burying). At the very least Two Bibliomaniacs confronts our slight (yet very healthy) book collecting obsession.
I love it! Great answers! Thanks for sharing. You can find my answers here: http://bookskidsanimalsandmore.blogspot.com/2011/03/its-friday-follow-friday.html
ReplyDeleteI suspect I'm in the minority by being monobibliogamous.
ReplyDeleteYou guys have reading habits similar to mine. :)
ReplyDeleteRegarding Where the Red Fern Grows - the book has a very vivid and shocking scene in it that draws more emotion from me than the end. I've read it a few times and have never cried (bawled!) like I do when watching the movie. That fern at the end... great, now I'm tearing up. LOL!
It's definitely a book worth reading. I should probably point out the older I got, the more I cried at the movie. I haven't read WTRFG since I was young. I might would bawl at the book now, too.
Coming through on the blog hop.
ReplyDeleteI will read two books only if I am slightly bored with the first one!
You make a great point with the multiple reads. I can only read one at a time, but when I say that I'm not including the books I read for class or audiobooks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my hop. Have a great weekend!
I read more than one book at a time, sometimes three, sometimes five!
ReplyDeleteI read varied genres, have a truly eclectic taste in books. Feel free to explore my blog, browse mt reviews.

Hopping through. Bibliophagy would have been funnier, but no one (myself included) would've gotten it :-)
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
I think it's easier to read multiple books when they're all in different genres, like yours are. It's easier to keep plots and ideas straight.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I just saw March (Geraldine Brooks) on your Shelfari. Have you read it yet? It's fabulous!
New follower hopping through! Love the name. :)

Another Hopper here - what do you think of Jonathan Strange...? It's on my official TBR Pile Challenge list for this year - and so is Gormenghast. I'm currently reading Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, so pretty soon I'll have to read Pride and Prejudice so I can read P & P and Zombies :)
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hopping by my blog :) I'm following you now, too and am looking forward to your Dark Tower reviews - personally this my top favorite series ever, I think you will enjoy it a lot! :)
Happy reading :)
(and there are Dark Tower movies coming out soon!^^ yay~!)
I so wish that I was the sort who could read multiple books simultaneously. But unfortunately I find myself getting plot lines and characters all confused and mixed up. I have found an exception recently though where I can read a work of fiction alongside a work of non-fiction without getting all befuddled.
