I prefer to play ambient sound videos from YouTube while I read. I typically pick rainstorm or blizzard sounds. It gives me extra cozy feels.

Nothing. I try not to poison my reading by filtering the text through some audio liquid emotion. Tunebrains these days can’t go for one MINUTE without putting one their favourite TRACKS.

Because the mind is shit at multitasking. If you try to focus on two things at once, you end up ingesting neither as well as if you just did one at a time. Ambient sound is fine, but anything with lyrics or emotion just detracts from reading.
You’re probably one of those fags that tries to listen to audiobooks and learn an instrument simultaneously.

No, I agree with this. Lyrical music will make a book unintelligible.

Bill Evans died in 1980 so I imagine his post 80s tempo slowed down quite a bit.

I enjoy listening to Handel operas while I read. The way I figure, nothing is more private and interior than reading, and nothing is more spectacular and performative than opera. So put them together and it mimics the whole range of human experience at once.
