No i'm more focused, only odd occasions when someone shouts me over and over.

Absolutely not! I tune out the world and often have to be called to dinner several times by several people before I hear.

Not really. I am usually in my room when I read and all that I have in my room is books... I don't have a TV or anything (weird for a 19 year old I know haha!) but I don't get distracted Im usually so invested in the book I'm reading I feel like I'm transported to the world that I'm reading about and it takes a lot for me to come back to reality! :)

I do not get easily distracted when I read. I just zone everything out and get into my book.

No, I do. Or get easily distracted. I also lose track of time - love to get completely absorbed into another world, time place, etc.

Sometimes I'll get distracted if there's something else I really need to be doing...but aside from that I stay pretty absorbed in whatever I'm reading.

Yes, mainly because i have four children. I also tend to pause a lot tomake sure i can picture exactly what things look like in my head.

It doesn't usually happen, only when there's a lot of noise and distractions :( . I feel to run an scream for silence. :roll:

Sometimes. It depends on the time of day and what is going on around me. But generally I can be pretty focused on what I am reading.

Not usually, which irritates my husband when I don't hear him talking.

Yes. I'm very easily distracted. I have even read a couple pages and be day dreaming at the same time and have to go back and re-read. I don't even understand how it happens.

If the story is long and drawn out I will find myself distracted or I'll start skimming the pages. This usually coincides with being tired.
