But possibly your co-workers think you prefer to read and that is why they don't include you. Why not try leaving the book for a day and see if anything changes - maybe someone will remark that you are without your book & you could use the opportunity to explain that while you like to read sometimes you might just like a bit of a chat. Asking a question or asking for advice is usually a good way to get a conversation going, I'd suggest maybe directing the question to the person closest to you and then once you break the ice with one person it will be easier to take in the whold group.
Or you could do something like maybe bring a few buns or an apple tart to the table and share it out. The majority of people will respond positively to a generous gesture. Good Luck with it.

I just recently started reading on my phone. I have tried asking questions or interjecting a story but again it's always met with being ignored or a slight comment then moved on. I actually don't feel like a part of the teamFran wrote:Doesn't sound like a very comfortable place to work.

Honestly, I'd go up to them and ask if they think you're being rude. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised by the results.
