That's simply
not true in my case. I'm a slow reader. When I'm engrossed in a book I'm basically in another world — often when I look up after a couple hours of reading I'm surprised at where I'm sitting. (I mostly read at night when it's quiet.) I've also recently realized that, when I'm sitting at my computer, I take a sip of water every few minutes. When I'm reading a book, my cold bottle of water is often warm the next time I realize it's there, and I haven't touched it.
