Do you like to listen to music while reading? I've been listening to Young Thug while reading pic related for maximum effect

>> No.8862318

I listen to rainymood sometimes. Anything with lyrics takes me out of it.

>> No.8862530

Not music, but I like audiobooks, but I don't like to hear other people's voices, I like to hear my own voice, so before I read a book, I record myself reading it (takes about a week), then I put on the recording of me reading it, and I read it in my head while following along with the recording.

I'm actually reading The Iliad but I wanted people to post in my thread so I used a meme instead.

I listened to Temples while reading earlier today and it wasn't distracting at all. Usually I listen to classical music radio at very low volume, just so I don't get distracted by the hard-to-describe rushing sound that I 'hear' while sitting in silence

No. If I don't have complete silence I can't enjoy what I'm reading.

One of my best reading experiences was when I read Infinite Jest on the subway, while being stoned and listening to techno.

What if you had the power to transfer your tinnitus to other people, except it'd be a lot worse and you could only use it on people who you loved, would you use it?

does it mask sounds for you when sitting in silence? I have it too but I still manage to stay alert and note small sounds, the thought of being unable to hear footsteps or breathing is terrifying to be

Doesn't mask them, but it's beginning to be almost on par with smaller sounds

I do this sometimes too. Aphex Twin is, really, my only go-to as far as IDM is concerned. Would you recommend other IDM artists who are good background music? as well as good in general ofc.

op here, what's the /lit/ equivalent of this album

>> No.8867192

>>8862255
Yes. I put off reading a new book until I find an album or make a playlist that fits the book's mood. It has to be something new but good that I won't get tired of listening to while on repeat for hours on end. If I can't find music that fits the bill I just watch chinese cartoons instead.
