Do You Listen To Music While You Read?

For me it is impossible. I am blind and since I lost my eyesight later in life I never learned Braille well enough to do much reading with it. I do all my reading by listening to either a human narrated audio book or by listening to synthetic speech. Music would be just entirely too distracting.

Yeah, that's how I am.
Yeah, that's how I am.
Sometimes, yeah. Like, if it's a really sad part in a book I might listen to One Family (off the Tarzan soundtrack, the part where Kerchak is dying) afterwards.







I find that some songs just go really well with certain parts of a book (kind of like a "book soundtrack", I guess) but for the most part I prefer it quiet while I read, unless the music is instrumental.
