Mystery Lover...but overall a very eclectic reader. Will read everything from the classics to historical fiction. Biography to essays. Not into horror or much into YA.

Booking Through Thursday: Reading Soundtrack
What, if any, kind of music do you listen to when you’re reading? (Given a choice, of course!)
I don't usually listen to anything when I'm reading. It's not that I can't or it's too distracting. I've been known to get lost in a book and not hear much of anything. At this stage of my life, though, I figure if I'm just going to tune the music out, then there isn't much point of having it on.
But if I do have music playing, then it has to be instrumental--preferably classical or soft jazz.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
Good answer! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteThis was pretty much my answer, too. I generally like peace and quiet when I'm reading.
ReplyDeleteI need some background noise or I tend to doze off, getting old I guess lol. If I am reading a book where I am "transported", I am not aware of anything either, however, music prevents that from happening. Odd, huh? But then, it's me lol.
ReplyDeleteI don't listen to anything usually, either. Here is my BTT.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. I love my peace and quiet, the only music i would listen to if I had music on, would be what my kids use to call 'elevator music' but if I have the choice I want peace and quiet.
ReplyDeleteI agree also, I prefer quiet reading.

I prefer soft music while reading.
ReplyDeleteHere is my BTT: Soundtrack post!
Great answer! I'm the opposite though, I always have to listen to music when I read. Love your blog! :)
