How many books do you read at the same time? [View All]

Right now, I'm in the middle of reading the following:

Touched by Fire by James M. Perry
(the story of the five presidents who served during the Civil War)

Winston Churchill by John Keegan
(one of the Penguin Lives series)

Secret Girl by Molly Bruce Jacobs
(the author's story of her sister who was born mentally retarded and institutionalized)

The Great Depression - America in the 1930's by T.H. Watkins
(companion book to the PBS series)

Still Called by Name by Father Dominic Grassi
(biography of a priest)

House Rules
(the story of freshman congressman Peter Hoagland)

And yesterday I just got a copy (autographed) of Nicholas Basbanes's "Every Book Its Reader"...but I haven't started it, yet.

Usually what happens is that I start a few books, and then one grabs me and I tend to read that particular book more than the others - but until that happens I jump back and forth.
