Adhd

I have a few dozen books. A third I've read all the way through, the rest I've picked up and put down or skimmed.

It helps to have a lot of options so that I'm more likely to find one that clicks and holds my attention for longer.

Plus I frequently reference books for specific info or quotes.

That’s why I got into ebooks, so much better for space. Now I have something like 400 on my Kobo and maybe a dozen in progress. There’s always something new and shiny.
