Today’s Musing:
What does your bookshelf (or, what do your bookshelves) say about you to the people who come into your home?
My Response:
  People visiting have made comments like “wow  do you have enough books”?, or “you must love to read” and then they will usually look at the synopsis’ of a book, and ask “was this good?  Mind if I borrow’?
  However, they usually don’t see all of them.  On my PB shelf, there are 2 piles in depth of the shelf, so there are a lot hidden, even to me.  Visitors will also see what hubby and I went to school for because some of our college textbooks are in the bookcase too. 
  Overall, I would say that my bookcases say that I am an avid read with a wide range of genres.

Today’s question:
Can you read amidst distractions? (tv, others talking, sporting events, etc)
My Answer:
Absolutely!!!  If I am “transported” into the plot, I don’t hear anything around me.  My family thinks it is funny because they could be talking to me and I am “not here”.  It does frustrate them, at times, when they have to call my name a couple of times to bring me back to reality.  I usually have the tv on all day, low volume, tuned into a cable news station, just in case there is some breaking news that I might be interested in.  I can’t read without background noise or I will fall asleep.
