I read to my LO a lot but she usually multi-tasks while I read and I'm not even sure she is listening!
When did your LO start asking you to read books?

Mine isn't near old enough, but my nephew started requesting books at 11 months, my other nephew at 13 months, and my niece is only now getting interested at 18 months

My son started bring me books to read to him last winter, at around 15 months. We need a better solution for our books, they're in a bin, but we don't have the space for a dedicated bookshelf.

Hmm, I'm not sure I remember exactly, but I think it was sometime between 18mos-2yrs that he really started asking (verbally) a lot. Before that, he'd sometimes pick books up and bring them to me to read. He asks regularly now (2.5 yrs), and that's been going on for a while.
I wouldn't worry about multi-tasking. LO went through several "phases" during which he didn't really concentrate much on our reading sessions, particularly between 6mos-1yr. He wasn't really up for anything other than one short board book at a time then, so we read those in short sessions and eventually his attention span lengthened. I think it's mostly a matter of practice--it's hard for little kids to sit still!
