    I used to, but I found I didn't finish things. These days, I limit myself to one book at a time. I also try to keep my "books to read" pile very small. (At the moment, it's got "Jurassic Park," the new China Mieville novel, and "Twilight.")

    OK, just finished Wizard & Glass: The Dark Tower IV and just started The Wolves of Calla: The Dark Tower V.
    I actually liked W&G:TDT IV. TWoC:TDT V is starting out pretty slow.

    Still reading Shutter Island. Just a fabulous book, and I'm so darn excited for the movie now! Also reading American Gods, rereading The Stand, and working through Self-Editing for Fiction Writers.
