Do you multi-task when you read? Do other things like stirring things on the stove, brushing your teeth, watching television, knitting, walking, et cetera?
Or is it just me, and you sit and do nothing but focus on what you’re reading?
(Or, if you do both, why, when, and which do you prefer?)
Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!
Oh, I combine reading and other activities on a regular basis. 🙂

I didn’t mention it there, but I always have books in my car in case of mechanical failure or traffic jams, too!

I would multitask more than I do if there were a better way to hold the book.

Another interesting BTT question. See my answer http://tfrances.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/btt-multi-tasking/
I’m a definite multi-tasker. If I’m doing something “useful,” I don’t feel so guilty about my reading time!
I rarely physically multi-task. But I do find myself multi-tasking with actual reading–with numerous “open” books being read at once. (One at night, one for the restroom, one for work, the latest one to fully engage me trumping everything else til it’s finished…etc.)

Might do but the reading gets the best of it, see why at http://beyondstrangenewwords.blogspot.com/2011/03/booking-through-thursday-multi-tasking.html
I’m so guilty of multi-tasking.

It depends on what the book is, but sometimes I do.

I cannot multi-task and read. And I can’t even read more than one book at a time. I have to fully committ to one book to enjoy. But I love it! http://leahsthoughts.com/bookshelf/

I mostly sit or lay in bed and read. I can definitely read with noises around me, even the television sometimes, but I can’t walk or do chores while I read (unless it’s an audio book). I’m also pretty good at reading with lots of interruptions. I also eat my lunch and read and I also listen to audio books while driving to and from work.
Here’s My Booking Through Thursday Answer.
Anything that doesn’t distract my mind from the book. My answer is posted.
I’m a multitasker 🙂

Yeah, I do multi-asking. I use to read while cooking, watching TV, eating, and surfing the internet. I prefer to sit quitly reading my book, but I don’t always have the time to do so.
That’s what audio books are for!
