If it's a book I'm really into, I can read it anywhere and through anything. If it's a book that I'm having a hard time connecting to, it takes me forever to read it. I easily get distracted.

To an extent...I get distracted that's why I prefer reading at night because the chances of getting distracted is low.

Not really. It only happens when the book is boring.

There have been times I have read a book in the middle of a noisy room being oblivious to my surroundings; and there have been times where even the slightest shift in my surroundings has distracted me from the book at hand. That said, I don't get easily distracted while reading a book. Sometimes it depends on my mood, sometimes on the book.

I also don't get easily distracted unless there is so much noise.

Weird thing about me is that I can read with my earphones on, with music of course. It helps me to avoid distracting noise or voices around me because that distracts me even more. For example, I am reading and my friends are talking about some movie that we really want to see, of course if I am around them I will hear what they are talking about that will lead me in joining their conversation. But if I have my earphones on, I won't be able to hear them and just continue reading.

I cannot read if someone is trying to talk to me at the same time. Aside from that, I do not get distracted really. If someone is talking, I end up reading the same paragraph three or four times.

If the book isn't interesting, it can be hard to maintain focus.

Easily distracted is a no.Though if I am waiting I can be, but usually I tend to just play a game or watch videos when this happens. This way I can easily put it down as opposed to books.

Yes it happens a lot. That's why I do read in a quiet environment usually at night. I also do not multitask while reading.

Not if the book is interesting. Otherwise, I keep browsing or snacking after every 10 minutes.

Sometimes but it can depend on the book and the environment I am reading in.
