Ocassionally I will put on a mellow instrumental album or two for background "noise" but if I am truly into the book I do not really pay attention to the music it's just sort of there.<BR/><BR/>There's only one time I intentionally played music while reading and that was only for one short scene because it was the author's inspiration for that scene. Otherwise I want to be immersed in the fantasy world of the book while I am reading. Yes it is not only recreation it is my escape.<BR/><BR/>MelissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1111518662951566542005-03-22T14:11:00.000-05:002005-03-22T14:11:00.000-05:00Hate is a strong word.I grand you that todays coun...Hate is a strong word.<BR/>I grand you that todays country can't hold a candle to the country<BR/>of the 70's and back. but I like other forms of music as long as it is the old stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1111464384237800152005-03-21T23:06:00.000-05:002005-03-21T23:06:00.000-05:00Reading while listening to music, especially fairl...Reading while listening to music, especially fairly new music and new books, melds the two forever in my mind. It's usually subtle, but often (becomes less as time passes) I find myself thinking about the book when I listen to the music again. LaRue's Tranparent CD can still remind me of Stephanie Grace Whitson's books. My favorite music gets associated with so many things it becomes neutral after a while.<BR/><BR/>It's a little distracting for me to read while listening to music, mostly when I come to the end of an exciting chapter and realized I didn't even hear my favorite song on the CD. But I can read through anything. I know the soundtracks wouldn't work for me, since I read faster than most people. Unless they made the CD short - how many hours of music are they going to give people so they can make it through a whole book?<BR/><BR/>BTW, I hate country music with a passion. :)Katie Hart - Pinterest Managerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892763965326103296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1111435811572672352005-03-21T15:10:00.000-05:002005-03-21T15:10:00.000-05:00I can write with noise, but not music.
