When I am reading in the quiet living room and someone comes in and turns on the tv.

I would have to say my cell phone. It seems like whenever I'm in an especially good part of the book, my best friend will call. She has a tendency to talk on and on about nothing at all, while I pretend to listen because I'm really just thinking about what will happen next in the book!

When I am sitting in the sun reading on my outdoor patio and the little black ants nip me on the foot, I need to stop and spray the area with!!!!

Noise! I love to read, and when I read it is like I see the full movie in my head! I can picture every detail, and even hear what the characters voices sound like. If there is noise however; I get distracted and I absolutely cannot stand that.

Noise.... noise for reason, people in the house just being loud... I love reading and am pretty good at ignoring people... but noise for no reason is the worst.

This happens to me all the time when I try to read when I'm on my break at work. I just want to relax with a good book. Is that too much to ask?

People who think that you must be reading because there is nothing else to do - so they start a conversation like you were just sitting there looking at a wall

Or when my partner says, Let's go" When I have 3 pages left to read in a book.....

The thing that annoys me the most when I'm reading is people asking me am i reading when i quite clearly have my head in a book or when they start asking me what its about to which my normal answer is i don't know as your stopping me reading it

Work! If only I could find a job that paid me several thousand dollars to read all day and night

I hate when people near me are talking while I'm trying to read. I wind up getting bits and pieces of their conversation and missing crucial details in my text. So I usually have to be in complete silence when I read. Otherwise, there's no way I can focus.

My cellphone, it seems like everytime I try to read a book all of sudden everyones texting me and calling me wanting to talk but when I'm not reading its silent. Another one is when my brothers know that I'm reading and they start yelling and screaming or blasting their music laughing because they thinks its funny that I get mad at them for it.

When I am engrossed in a great book and the person near you asks you what you are reading and what you think of it and then follows that up with a full blown conversation about what they are reading, have read, want to read. While I usually enjoy these conversations, I don't enjoy them mid amazing book!!!!
