What are your Background Music when Reading a Book?
For example when I was reading The Lord of the Mysteries I was mostly listening to Tchaikovsky’s classical music and similar music. This was the playlist
Usually music without any vocals. Jazz, electronic, or classical.
I can’t listen to anything while reading.
Anything loud to drown out all the other noise around me at all times.

The sound of my own voice in my head. Reading takes me a decent amount of focus. I plod along, sometimes having reread a whole page. I like quiet for sure.
The audiobook. Helps me focus.
so you’re reading the book while listening the audiobook? that sounds like a good idea.
I read much faster than the audiobook though, what do you do then?
I do too, but sometimes I have to remind myself it is a good thing to relax and slow down. This is one method.
Nothing, that’s utterly distracting.
I like to use Brian Eno’s ambient series of albums for reading! Music designed to be “ignored” makes for a more focused reading session for me. I would encourage anyone who is easily distracted by other types of music to give it a try.
I have no idea. I used to put a CD on, and then only notice the music when it finished.
