I’m currently reading S by J.J. Abrams, which has many inserts and is a library book, so I keep it at home so if an insert falls out it won’t get lost. But I’ll sometimes read an ebook on my phone when out of the house. If a physical book is too bulky I’ll keep a small book in my bag for when I don’t want to scroll on my phone while waiting

I used to think of is as “abandoning” but now I think of it like having different groups of friends and doing stuff with them. Hanging out with work buddies doesn’t mean that you’ve abandoned your other friends, and not all friend groups like to do the same things.

Though my one rule for reading multiple books is to not read the similar books at once. For example I wouldn’t read two murder mysteries in case I confuse who did what and, “Which book did that happen in?”
