Today's Musing: Can you read amidst distractions? (tv, others talking, sporting events, etc)
Oh yes! I drive my family nuts with the ability to read while doing other things. I always read while the TV is on and my husband is amazed that I know what is going on in both places.
If there is talking going on around me, I can read. But I do not read while others are talking to me, that's just rude.
When my kids were younger I always had a book at their sporting events. The older they got, the more it bothered them, so I left the books at home.
I can read while waiting anywhere, well anywhere actually!!

I am never without a book...even at my son's sporting events..especially track meets!!!
I prefer the quiet. But, I will listen to soft music via headphones, to help me focus on the book more if there is alot of noise around. Here's mine.
I don't need the quiet...in fact, I prefer some nice background noise. And one should always have a book on hand, no matter where, in case a reading opportunity arises!
I wish I could read like this! Alas, I usually tend to read only when I am alone with the peace and quiet.
I recently started wearing ear plugs while I read in the living room when my husband is watching TV. I feel bad if I go in another room to read, so I thought this was a good compromise. lol
I used to read without the ear plugs, but found I wasn't enjoying the book as much because the TV was such a distraction and I was just skipping over parts!
I can definitely read with the tv on - I always do but when people keep talking and won't be quiet - that will distract me.
