Concentration?

I'm at school most of the time and I could seriously get a lot of reading done, but I need it to be quiet in order to fully concentrate -- there's usually too much talking in public places such as school when I actually find the time to read. Is this just a concentration issue? Is there something I can do to focus better?

Listening to music (classical seems to be the best for this)also might help you. It certainly helps me drown out the stupid.
