Focusing on the art you consume is a bourgeois philistine concept. Novels celebrate this idea, which is why they're so trashy.

Aristocracy used to talk during plays, as did the Greeks and Romans. That was the purpose of the choir in ancient Greek theater: get the part of the audience that wasn't paying attention up to speed. Novels only became a thing in the 18th century, with the rise of the bourgeoisie.
