I always read a few books at a time, one of which is novel and the others are essays and story collections. I used to try not to read a few novels at a time but while reading Piercy's Woman at the Edge of Time (quite a slowing reading for me), I prefered to read Ballard, Carroll, Iain Banks and reading "Woman at the Edge of Time" was put off. Then I realized it's not difficult to read two novels together - one at a time is better though
