I walk while I read. All the time. In fact, if I'm standing and reading I begin to pace. And I can move through crowds while reading. I also eat while reading and I converse while reading. But, if something takes my full attention, I don't read. This means video games or anything involving both hands- but if I can just set it down and turn the pages I read. But I tend to be wary of reading while doing dirty jobs or things near water.

I, sadly, am unable to multitask whilst reading. I think it's because I get too involved in the story that everything else just falls away.

So lately, i have been reading the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, and i kinda got into a bad habbit...
One day on the bus, it was so noisy i couldn't read, so i got out my disk man (yes, i am old school apparently) and i decided to listen to my music.
The disk just happened to be a burned disk of HIM, and it came to the song Vampire Heart (there are a few others too that seem to be reoccurring).
Now, whenever i pick up my Twilight series, i put on Vampire Heart by HIM when i read.
so when i read...i have to listen to music...or...the song

Normally I get too distracted to multitask.
I try to read during commercial breaks when I'm watching television, but then some really cool infomercial comes on and absorbs all of my attention.

Agreed. Though I am capable, very capable, of multi-tasking, I just can't while reading. Same reasoning.

I'm unable to multitask while doing anything. I have to have my undivided attention on one thing or I won't be able to concentrate at all.

I like to read while walking, cooking, eating, not watching TV, and of course, listening to music. Sometimes my i listen to one or two albums while reading a particular book or series, and afterward that music always reminds me of those books.

Watching TV and reading is a big one for me. Eating while reading makes me nervous (stains on my books just freaks me out), but I do it anyways. My most impressive feat to date was reading and dancing at the same time. I was having kind of a manic day and couldn't sit still long enough to read a book. It happens.
