Your current reading material

What book are you currently reading? I'm about to get an Agatha Christie Novel tomorrow but nothing right now.

I know plenty of people that do it, but i never eally understood reading 2+ books at once.  Do you get the same out of all of them as if you just went one at a time?   I've read Confederacy of Dunces and V, and I couldn't imagine reading them at the same time.  It's like watching 2 movies at once.
