Do you guys multi-task when you read? Like, I don't mean walking and reading (I have yet to meet another bibliophile who hasn't mastered that art. Like, do you bump and read? Homework and reading? Folding clothes and reading?

I'm guilty of the above, and lots more.

I would have to agree that we are all probably guilty of reading while walking but I usually don't read while on the computer. My most common ones are reading while watching TV, reading and homework, and reading while talking to people which annoys many because they'll think I'm not listening.

I read while watching TV
read while having a conversation
read while on the computer
read while exercising (treadmill at the gym)
read while doing homework
read while eating
read while cleaning/doing chores...

I could probably come up with more, but my brain hasn't turned itself on yet this morning.

I read all the time while doing things, so yes...I can't just do one thing at a time. My attention span's just that short, I think.

My mom often asks me why I read when we're watching a movie.

I can multi-task at almost anything except reading

I multitask very often, although I don't like to. I've found that if I don't multitask, I will never get the chance to read! Usually, I am doing homework while I read.

I don't normally do other things while reading (unless it's eating cereal while reading the back of the cereal box). I like to give my full attention to what I'm reading, but I think that's because I've always needed to pay full attention while reading. I've never been able to read quickly, so distractions take up way too much time.

At my first high school I was well known for reading and holding a conversation, reading while eating, reading while working on my novel, and reading while working on a math assignment.

I usually try to focus simply on my reading so I can really get into the world of the book, except if I *have* to do something and I don't want to put my book down because it's at a good part.

The only real multi-tasking I do while reading is eating.. usually Ramen. But I get too caught up in my book and my Ramen goes cold! gonk

Eating, watching TV, listening to music, walking, folding clothes, etc.
