"The Andromeda Strain" on my phone to pass time and "The Bear and the Dragon" on my Kobo.

Is it weird to read two books at the same time lol?

theorychapter above is also binge reading Crichton. It's weird, sometimes you don't hear a name for quite a while and then suddenly multiple people are reading them. 😀

The Andromeda Strain was my first Crichton book, loved it.

Loooooove The Andromeda Strain!

Such a great book, both the story and the fragmentary structure of it. Got a paper copy somewhere, must read that again soon.

EDIT - found it 😁

It depends on the setting your are listening to and reading the books. I listen to audio books on my daily commute.

So if you are listening to one book for the soul sucking drive and another to relax at the end of the day..

That's kind of what I'm doing now that you made me think about it. One book is usually a light read that is easy to hop in and out of and the other is usually more intensive. The light reads are for killing time and the heavier ones I read before bed.

Just two? Those are rookie numbers.
