Musing Mondays (March 28)

This week’s Musing Mondays  from Should Be Reading asks…

“Do you read books while you…

…eat? … bathe?… watch movies or tv?…  listen to music?… While you’re on the computer?”

I never eat while I read. It’s too distracting. If I try to do both then the end result would be that I’d become engrossed in the story, forget to chew and will in all probability choke on my food.

I never read while I bathe. I’m afraid I’d get the book wet. The horror!

I do sometimes read while watching a movie or TV. If the movie had reached a point where I’m not that interested but want to go on watching anyway just to find out what happens in the end, I read. Same with the TV shows I watch. For example, crime based shows like CSI, Law & Order: SVU, Bones or Dexter. I like the crime parts but not all of the personal stuff (romance, kids; etc.). Sometimes, I put the TV on mute and read until the show gets back on track.

I usually don’t listen to music while I read.

I read while I’m on the computer only if I’m downloading something. I get impatient pretty fast and need to do something to distract myself. What better way to do that than to get lost in a book?
