Generally, I find that I am reading more than one book at a time. I will read a few chapters of a fictional piece and then pick up something historical or self improving. I go back and forth between the two, or sometimes three, unless it is something totally captivating that allows me to focus on reading nothing but that particular book (e.g. The Kite Runner)
Looking from the outside at an aspiring writer, I would question the presence of Selma Lane’s The Art of Maurice Sendak and Stephen King’s On Writing on the bedside table. What sort of books will come from that kind of mind?
