For people who don't have the luxury of personal space, I would recommend what others have mentioned on this post, let people know you are not to be disturbed unless its an emergency while you are reading, most considerate people once you have said this a couple of times would take the hint and wont disturb you when they see you reading.
I have been interrupted a few times right when I am at the juicy bit of the book and it is irritating but if its something that's not important I usually tell the person that I will listen to them once I am done with 'this bit' in the book. It does break your concentration but if the book is good enough, it easy to get right back into it, at least its been easy for me.

It's one of the reasons that if I wanted to read at work during lunch break, I'd sit somewhere outside, or somewhere inside, but alone so people would really understand that I'd rather not be interrupted during that break.

It is very rude to interupt when someone is reading. Only a reader can understand this feeling of another reader. It so happens that, sometimes we get so much involved and lost in the book that we don't want to come back to real life. But an interuption breaks it all and disrupts the chain of thoughts. It's like waking someone up horribly in the muddle of a night.
