TILT: (Mon) Family versus Books

My family is all book readers. And, puzzler doers. So, at the beach, we all have our noses in something. We sit and groups and ignore each other. One sister (in law) is a talker, so when she's around, there's always some discussion. I used to resent that interruption in my otherwise dedicated reading time. But, now I've swung the other way. Now I prefer the talking to the reading. After all, I don't need to vacation with my family I see pretty much just this once per year only to ignore them the whole time. So, now I'm annoyed when no one wants to talk. Hey, are we here together ... or alone? Will the books win? They did this year.
