I can't listen to music while I read fiction.

Non-fiction, some laid-back jazz. Coltrane, Miles Davis, the list could go on

If I get bored while reading, I like to smell my farts.

Classical guitar can be nice if the volume is really low (like near-subliminally low) and it's really overrated generic shit, like Segovia playing Bach.

Anyone else enjoy listening to the Buffy 'Once More With Feeling' soundtrack while reading Twilight?

Bunch of idiots.

Listening to jazz while reading usually helps me keep concentrated. No vocal music and songs I'm too fond of or else I'll start singing and lose focus.

I typically go non-vocal. Yoko Kanno is my favorite composer, so something like that. Currently I'm favoring the Black Swan soundtrack.

Sports where the commentators aren't total fucktards works for me sometimes. Was reading to the Australian Open earlier today... I guess soccer could work too but fuck that amirite?

Also music like Aphex Twin SAW: V2 or Philip Glass is pleasant.
