Do you get easily distracted when you read?

[3chicnP]

If it's a book I'm really into, I can read it anywhere and through anything. If it's a book that I'm having a hard time connecting to, it takes me forever to read it. I easily get distracted.

[Ama Idim]

To an extent...I get distracted that's why I prefer reading at night because the chances of getting distracted is low.

[Star88]

Not really. It only happens when the book is boring.

[TheWriteAngel]

There have been times I have read a book in the middle of a noisy room being oblivious to my surroundings; and there have been times where even the slightest shift in my surroundings has distracted me from the book at hand. That said, I don't get easily distracted while reading a book. Sometimes it depends on my mood, sometimes on the book.

[Gifty Naa Akushia]

Not in any way distracted when am reading any book of kind, for me reading is an inate interest, once I decide nothing takes me off.

Sometimes. It's usually when I'm tired or stressed and difficulty concentrating. But for the most part, I don't have any problems.

I also don't get easily distracted unless there is so much noise.

Weird thing about me is that I can read with my earphones on, with music of course. It helps me to avoid distracting noise or voices around me because that distracts me even more. For example, I am reading and my friends are talking about some movie that we really want to see, of course if I am around them I will hear what they are talking about that will lead me in joining their conversation. But if I have my earphones on, I won't be able to hear them and just continue reading.

[Essywa]

Yes I prefer pin drop silence. Am able to concentrate better.

I cannot read if someone is trying to talk to me at the same time. Aside from that, I do not get distracted really. If someone is talking, I end up reading the same paragraph three or four times.

If the book isn't interesting, it can be hard to maintain focus.

[Archaeoptery]

Easily distracted is a no.Though if I am waiting I can be, but usually I tend to just play a game or watch videos when this happens. This way I can easily put it down as opposed to books.

[perekenighan]

Yes it happens a lot. That's why I do read in a quiet environment usually at night. I also do not multitask while reading.

[perekenighan]

If the book isn't interesting, it can be hard to maintain focus.

Yeah true...very true

[Michelle Menezes]

Not if the book is interesting. Otherwise, I keep browsing or snacking after every 10 minutes.

Sometimes but it can depend on the book and the environment I am reading in.
