I've always had a book (and now a reader) with me me on the go. Some books I can only read at home, with no music on, because they need concentration, but I'm mostly able to ignore ambient noise, and can read pushing the basket in a supermarket or my luggage in an airport boarding queue, or in public transport. What I can't ignore is a loud conversation close by - real people or a TV in some waiting room (hateful). The most memorable is a woman in a checking-in line yelling that yes, the baby was his. Another was a man savaging an employee on the phone.

And I've missed one to three bus or tube stops because immersed in my book.
