I, too, can only read one book at a time. Can you imagine how slow I would be if I read more than one?! And I also like to eat and read at the same time, but I do it less now that I live with someone else than I did when I lived at home with my parents or when I lived alone...Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06867226903227387373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-76390954137935412422012-08-29T21:39:09.844-04:002012-08-29T21:39:09.844-04:00More than 1000 books!

I hate double stacking books, but I have limited bookshelf space, which mean sit might be coming to that soon.
