I'd only make one correction (plus punctuation), Muni:

Actually, I don't finish one book and then start another. I just start 2-3 subjects at a time. That's why I am not done with any subject, but I have finished half of every subject.

Great job!

Actually, I didn't (past tense!) finish one book and then start another,I just started to read (you don't have to add "to read" it's just that I think it makes it look nicer!) 2-3 subjects at a time, that's why I am not done yet with any single subject but I have just finished about a half of every subject.

As you noticed, I added a few words here and there. Those words are optional, but they do make your sentences look nicer and clearer. Another comment: Make sure all the tenses in all your sentences agree with each other. I "done" is in the past tense so "start" and "finish" should be too.
