I'm a child of traditional book reading.I used to go through one book
continuously from beginning to end,taking notes and highlighting passages I like,not
in one seating of course.Then on to the next book.It was a slow but deeper way to
absorb a book.
When I landed a job,most of my tasks involved reading a lot for projects.Evelyn
Wood's Speed Reading lessons helped me breeze through my reading requirements.
But if a book really interested me,I would switch to my slow reading mode.but still
one book at a time.
Nowadays I have acquired this habit of multiple book reading,jumping from
book to book without finishing one book first.Half an hour on one book,then another
book in the next half.Three books at home,and another three in the office.I also have
e-books.Have you seen Jumper,a movie where the hero has the ability to instantly
transport himself to any place or time So it's like jumping between books without
staying too long in one.You can move from world to world:Quantum physics now,
renaissance time next.From person to person:Lawrence of Arab now,then Thomas
More.You have in your hands the ability to change the scene on a whim(-时兴起)，
so you never get bored.
It's like a buffet in front of you.A variety and contrast of the food items on your
plate awakens your taste buds and even results in new dish mixture.Multiple book
reading helps "spice up things".You can take a little from every plate of food and then
nibble on each dish alternately.Sometimes,I unconsciously mix some of the dishes
and the improvised mixing can create something surprisingly delicious.
So far,I've kind of gotten the hang of juggling multiple books!I can stop at any
point and switch to slow mode if something really catches my interest.In fact,new
research finds that "mixing it up",a learning process called "Interlearning"that
involves alternating between topics during one study session,produces dramatic and
long-lasting learning benefits.If this is true,then my reading evolution has been in the
right direction all along.
