How long wait before reading next book?

[playdoh]

Should there be a wait time after finishing one book and then picking up the next? I recently finished Power of Now and only about 10 days later started reading Osho book of secrets. I'm wondering if I should have let the first book set in a while more and practice the techniques more. Like Osho says, if something feels right practice it for 3 months. So I'm wondering if I moved on to soon. Getting a little frustrated bc I liked PON so much but feel I'm losing my thought and practice in it because you really have to give Osho all your attention. Leo says to eat up as many books as possible. Not sure that's thats the right technique. Reminds me of someone I know, has read so many great books but I notice they don't seem to practice any of it in their life. 

Also on another topic- in Oshos book he says to practice each technique for 3 days and then if it resonates with in do for 3 months.  If I did each technique for 3 days and possibly 3 months it'll take forever to finish the book. So is that how it should be read anyways? And he doesn't give precise directions on the techniques. For example, the first technique follow the breath coming in and out of the nose.So should one be every waking hour following his in breath and out breath or do 1 hour a day or what?

Pick up from another topic, so you don't get overwhelmed yourself with concepts about consciousness and so

@playdoh No, there is no such rule. The only rule is to read at your own pace. The point is not checking the book off the list but understanding it and applying into your life. If the book isn't worth it, skim it.

@playdoh What did you learn? Did you learn anything? How has your behavior changed after reading The Power of Now?

Read whatever you want, whenever you want.

I constantly switch books I read because different things keep my interest at different times. Sometimes I'll read several chapters of a book then not pick up the book again for months because I'm too busy applying stuff. But as I apply stuff from that one book I might also be going through some other books, maybe for a different area of life. This works amazingly well for me.

Don't put rules on when you read. That's too mechanical.
