Yeah I'm that way. My brain tunes out the speaking but if I'm actively engaged in a book I can do it. Depends on the book too.

The nature of these spectrums never ceases to fascinate me. I'm on the other end - unable to filter out speech even when I'm trying to concentrate on something else (yay for AuDHD I guess.) An audiobook and a long drive/ride make perfect companions for me.
