I can read almost regardless of what is going on in the background - TV, radio (music or talk), music, people talking, doctor calling me in for an appointment, train leaving the station I should have got off at... I lose myself in books to the exclusion of just about everything else. If it's a good book (*), it's even worse.
(* Defined as one where I really really want to know what happens next, irregardless of actual writing quality)
