Is listening to music while reading a meme?

>>8161971
Stop talking about 'memes'. It's embarrassing

>>8161971
Depends. If my house is quiet, I prefer reading without music. If there's a lot of shit going around (say, dogs going nuts or my moms watching Dr. Phil and it's really distracting me) I listen to music of an ambient sort (think: Nujabes homework mixes, or some chilled out classical).

I'm a trained composer, it's difficult not to listen analytically. I actually feel like it's a problem and I'd like to get past it.

I listen to stuff while reading - free jazz, noise sometimes. It blocks out the sounds, like the noise of family members having sex in nearby rooms.

Composer here also, pls post link to website.

Say ye nevermore, for anon is a good passing man of royal likeness and right passing knightly splendor, and if it were ordained to have a match betwixt the three of ye I would doubt not that he would shame the both of ye with his mighty prowess and valor

Why is everybody in this thread so mean

>>8162315
Because you accidentally stepped out of reddit.

>>8162332
ffs dave, leave him alone.

>>8162084
you arent though

i like to read my book while going out to eat, theres people talking in the background and i play music to drown it out

i found it pretty easy to focus on the book, its more like 2 percent attention spent on the music and 98 percent on the book

>>8161971
Posting your book with a filter over it on social media is the biggest meme of them all.

>>8162254
*of you, faggot. Ye is nominative, you objective.

I listen to white noise while I read

If a book mentions some song or piece I'll put it on to heighten the narrative, yeah
It's usually just for white noise though, so a lot of ambient and New age works p well for me

No. It blatantly makes it harder to focus on what I'm reading.

Even if I could, why bother? Shouldn't the book be entertaining enough?

Don't fucking enable him.
