What song / album / artist pairs well with certain books? I don't listen to music while I read, but for some reason I associate some books with certain albums.
Pic related is what I'm reading and Fleet Foxes' S/T has been in my head most of the time.

Adult Jazz - Springful is a song that's literally about that book, so maybe give that a listen.

F#A# Infinity is literally the soundtrack to that book I decided And if a movie adaptation is ever made t would have to use Deadflag Blues. The whole setting is like a post apocalyptic American western wasteland just like the book
