Do you multi-task when you read? Do other things like stirring things on the stove, brushing your teeth, watching television, knitting, walking, et cetera?

Or is it just me, and you sit and do nothing but focus on what you’re reading?

(Or, if you do both, why, when, and which do you prefer?)

To be honest, I do both.  It really depends on how engrossed I am in the book.  If it's a book that really grabs my attention or has difficult language, I focus only on the book.  On the other hand, if it's a fun read or an episodic read (short stories, nonfiction knowledge books) I can be watching tv (read during commercials) or cooking dinner.  I have even been known to walk and read, but I don't do that anymore.  I think I have become more clumsy in my old age.  Really looking at my behavior, most of the time I just read.  I like to get sucked into the world the author created.  And if it's really good I lose all track of time and just read.  Those are the best books...
