Is there something you always do before you get ready to read or something you do while reading?  I love to sit up in bed at night and listen to CD's while I read, and I know a friend who has to go somewhere absolutely quiet or she will get distracted and forget what she just read.  Another friend listens to music and plays a movie while she reads just to distract herself when the book gets slow, too exciting or for when her brain shuts down from doing the same thing for too long!

I almost always read for at least an hour every night while lying in bed before nodding off...except when I am unable to put a book down and then it is often an all nighter  :^)  Also I run a white noise generator to shut out all extraneous noise.

Sit up in bed and read before going to sleep or sitting in a nice cozy recliner with pillow, blanket and a nice tall mug of hot tea and or chocolate.  Noise don't bother me once I am interested in the book and can't wait to see what happens next.

Gotta have my 3 cats sitting with me or on me.

I can read anytime anywhere (except in the car lol) I am usually in my chair.  Noise doesn't bother me because I have three boys, but look forward to my two and a half hours of no interuptions when little man is at school or when they go to bed.  Other then that I"m reading all the time!
