yep. My software is also MIT so it's actually convenient for me, as far as using open source stuff goes.

Talking mainly about non technical books, Do you read one book at a time , read it, finish it and move to next one or you read multiple books at various stages of completion.
I just realized that I am "trying" to read 5 books and already started fishing for the 6th book to start!! The problem is not the lack of books but the location.
1. In Bathroom ( No need for explanation)
2. Near the bed night stand (Before heading to sleep couple of pages or chapters)
3. In the car (While I chaperone Mrs to various shopping and boring errands)
4. In the Living room (when Idiot box really becomes stupid)
5. In the kitchen ( On weekends when I take over the kitchen responsibility)
cheers,
Super

I read one book at a time(*); mostly while commuting in public transport or sitting at a bar.
I tend to read a lot more in winter because when the weather is nice, I bike to work, so not practical (duh).
I have several books in the queue, either already bought or waiting to the bought.
(*) I have a couple of unfinished dead-wood books laying around that I mean to finish, but they are large formats and heavy.
I'd rather be phishing!

Multiple - this is why I moved to eBooks only some years back. As long as I have my tablet with me - which is smaller and lighter than most books - I have the books I am reading with me as well, plus a pile of others if I finish one.

I keep my books in the same place. On a shelf, in the library, situated in the west wing of my house.
Oh... do I read books... I thought you was asking me to pretend I was in one, my bad 
On a serious note, it depends what you mean by "reading". There are books I started reading years ago, and have since read a book since. So I guess technically I do read multiple books at a time. I have no intention of finishing them though.
I rarely read books at all. I find the time they take isn't worth the satisfaction they deliver. It's inefficient. A film is a much better use of my time, and pretty much does the same job.

Perhaps you're reading the wrong books or is it just down to lack of imagination? 
|
|
|
|
|
Nah they are real books, I don't need to imagine them 
I am not saying I don't enjoy books, I just find they generally take a long time that I would prefer to spend on other things.

"..they are real books.." - Nice one! 
But don't you find that the film versions of books are sometimes very different from the way you imagined them to be when first reading them?
And look at the dogs breakfast film has made (so far..) of the likes of Dune?
Although, I'll grant, the Lord of the Rings was pretty darn good.
So, which, if any, books would you like to see on film?

Yeah they are definitely different because we are seeing another person's imagination on film. And I don't disagree with most people when they say they cut so much out. But that doesn't mean the film is automatically bad, and if you never read the book then you don't know what (if anything) you are missing - ignorance is bliss and all that.
Leo56 wrote: So, which, if any, books would you like to see on film?
As I said, I don't read many at all, so couldn't say. The last book I read was Ready Player One. Then the film came out, and although it was quite different I think they did an amazing job with it.
Also, pretty much all films these days are based on books, so would be a challenge to find one that isn't already on it's way to hollywood

Hey, don't knock it! The 1984 version had Picard, agent Dale Cooper, Admiral Al Calavicci, and Chucky all in the same film. 
(And Sting, but we'll try to forget that.)
Still looking forward to seeing how this year's version fares.
