Do you read more than one book at a time?

At the present moment I'm at some reading stage in at least six books. That may sound strange, but I like the flexibility of switching between books depending on my mood, which book is nearest my idle hand, or the type of information I want to imbibe. I prefer to balance my literary diet by reading both nonfiction and fiction at the same time, although this doesn't always happen. One note to the wise, do not read multiple novels by the same author at the same time, unless you want to wonder why a British soldier is stalking around ancient Rome, or some such mixup.

My question is this: Am I alone as a multi-simultaneous book reader? I've included the poll below to satisfy myself upon this point. If it is one of my peculiarities, so be it. If not, as I rather expect, I'm interested to see how devoted you are to reading multiple books at a time. Let the voting begin!
