I think lots of people do that. My wife has at least two or three books going at all times, and I’d say that the majority of avid readers I have known read more than one book at a time.

It's a normal practice in my family...for generations now; however, I never thought to ask others if they do the same.

I'm down to having only 2 books going right now, and don't plan on starting another one as yet.
