know i now

Well i ve been tried a number of different ways to read recently ,i tried jumping from book to book spend a little time with each in the end ,I found a solution that seems to suits me .Thats reading one main book all day ,at night i m reading what i would call a light read in last week or more a persephone  in bed ,and inbetween books sneaking a few short stories from the best European fiction 2010 which i have got to work through as new 2011 edition due later this year .Which seems to work best for me .Many thanks for all the feedback of your reading habits .I suppose its a bit of both .
