It's just like moving into a new house and getting used to all the new creaks and groans when you're lying in bed that first night... they eventually go away.
Actually, you are totally right about "a" and "b".

If the book really catches my attention, my wife can even watch TV (or talk to me, lol) and I don't notice it.
