Hey man, don't try to put labels on what is going on with me and my books

I like to practice free love with my books. I'll almost always have a couple books going.
My wife asked my, "How can you start another book when you are still reading two others?"
"Easy." I explained. "You watch Bones right?"
"Yes" she nodded not knowing where I was going with this.
"You also watch Survivor, Fringe, and football on Sundays." I continued. "And I'm more than willing to bet that if a new episode of Chuck came out, you would be glued to the screen right now."
She tried to tell me that it was different somehow. I don't see how. Episodes vs. chapters. Often at the end of each you are left wondering what comes next.

Are you a "monogamous" reader, as it were?

Usually monogamous, except when it comes to exceedingly boring books.

For the most part. Not always, but then it usually ends up with me divorcing the first book. *NM*

Shocking. I hope you give it some sort of financial support, at least? *NM*

I like to think that the current case will be closer to that than to the Dune one
