Ha! This exactly.
Interesting topic. I'm pretty introverted, but I enjoy conversing with the good folks here at MR and on goodreads a bit, so I guess that is social reading. I would never go too crazy with it, though. I'm the type of person who will keep earbuds in while on the exercise bike at the gym or on a plane, even if I'm just reading and not listening to anything, just to reduce the chatter and to decrease the possibility of - gasp! - someone talking to me. My wife calls me "asocial", and I can't argue with that because it's actually a fairly generous characterization :-)
