And yes, it does depend on how good a book is! Absolutely!! But you 're MUCH better at blocking out distracting sounds than I am. In your post, you mentioned being able to read in a noisy restaurant. I know I wouldn't be able to do that, not that itMaria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-14265091419646499682017-02-19T01:11:13.802-05:002017-02-19T01:11:13.802-05:00While my preference is to read in silence, I would...While my preference is to read in silence, I wouldn't get much reading done if I had to wait for moments like that. I've learned to read in just about any situation. Like you, I find that a lot depends on how good the book is. If it's really good, I can block out everything around me. If it's not that good, I find myself easily distracted. <br /><br />I do like to listen to Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-22579334709303432952017-02-17T21:34:12.976-05:002017-02-17T21:34:12.976-05:00Hi, Nicki!

And we also share the total immersion in a book, to the point that we don't hear family members calling our names! Lol. Well, to be honest, this happened to me more while I was growing up. <br /><br />I find it so FASCINATING that certain activities are handled by the left or right sides of Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-66215249130904106402017-02-17T20:36:58.614-05:002017-02-17T20:36:58.614-05:00Hi, Elizabeth!

But I'm able to concentrate on a book under the circumstances mentioned above. <br /><br />I'm glad you liked my analysis of reading, watching TV, and listening to music. I love how our brains can shift back and forth from one to the other, and, at times, even combine both!<br /><Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-6667570232349563982017-02-17T19:30:21.478-05:002017-02-17T19:30:21.478-05:00What a thoughtful, detailed answer you gave.

When I'm in a book - I'm wholly involved in just the book. My poor family has to call my name multiple times to get my attention. Oops! lol I even find music distracting.

I think that I am less tolerant of music then you are. <br /><br />Your analysis of the activities as right brain/left brain make sense.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
