Its interesting how reading is a different process to different people.
For me.......I am totally immersed in what I am reading. Everything else goes away.
Thats why books on tape hold no appeal....if I tried one while driving, I'd drive into a try. If I tried while doing housework, the'd find me holding the broom or whatever, with a blank faraway look on my face listening.
I wonder if some people (and I'm not referring to anyone here so don't hit me!) just don't read at such a deep level......
