A lot of the books I read don't really require a great deal of introspection. I read a lot at night before going to sleep and sometimes the books insert themselves into my dreams.

I only choose audio books that are light reading because I'm always cooking and cleaning while listening and frequently get distracted. It's easy enough to just hit the rewind button, though, to back up a wee bit if necessary.

I do keep a list of all the books I read so I can be sure not to get a duplicate. I cut and paste the title & author from my to-be-read list as I go along.

Since I live alone and spend most of my time that way, I have plenty of time to contemplate on plots, etc.

Good question. I am curious to see what others might say here.
