Kids will do it for you, you grow so insulated to noise that the smoke detector can go off over your head in the middle of a good book and it takes a couple seconds to registergali wrote:Not really. Since my kids were born I can read through all level of noise.

Otherwise, I always get drawn into the book easily enough that I'm pretty much in my own world. My imagination runs off the fuel provided by the story, and if it can get the characters in motion and all, then it's a sealed deal on me being absorbed in what I'm reading to not get distracted.

Some books I find easier to read with specific background music.
Others I need silence, no distractions and regular breaks to absorb what I have just read.
