What music do you listen while reading

[The Black Hawk]

What music do you guys listen to while reading I basically listen to metal and country.

Metal- Five Finger Death Punch, Slipknot, Breaking Benjamin, Korn, Slayer, Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Motograter, Three Days Grace, WoodKid, Bioharzard,Pantera, Metalicca, DragonForce,

Country- Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Toby Keith, Brantly Gilbert

Kenny Chesney, Taylor Swift, Easton Corbin, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood, Florida Georgia Line

Rap- My main man THE NORTIOUS B.IG

[Dr. Pepper]

Johnny Cash is the only musician worthy of being heard while reading ASOIAF.

[King of Winters]

I don't listen to any music while I read. If I do then I start singing along with the words in my head and then I skim the words and don't take them in properly and then I have to read the page or paragraph again.

I like reading in silence with the TV off and no music, sorry.

Amen the Man In Black is definate listen to

[RenlyIsNotRight]

I'm a musician myself, but I actually don't usually listen to music while reading in general. However, if I were to listen to anything while reading ASOIAF, it would definitely be ES Posthumus or something like that. That type of atmosphere goes along with the descriptions particularly of the Northern landscapes.

[Florina Laufeyson]

I tend not to read to music but there are times where Dead Can Dance is playing when reading. Too fitting at times...

[The Great Walrus]

Mostly the German metal band Rammstein, here's a sample of a few of the songs i often listen to while reading:

[Inquisitor Glokta]

I like to read in complete silence... I don't know for you guys, but music or tv distract me way to much to read properly.

This is me. I want complete silence while reading.

[Breastplate Stretcha]

Thelonious Monk, Chet Baker, Herbie Hancock, Stan Getz, John Coltrane, George Duke, Art Tatum, and various instrumental hip hop beats.

When reading I need music that is mostly instrumental and not too repitious or I'll just get caught up in the beat.

[Nyrhex]

I usually listen to something random, and only change if it realy does'nt fit with the book. On re-reads I sometime work a song to go with the general mood of the part I am re-reading, like today for example I listened to Jen Titus - Oh Death while re-reading a part of A Ghost In Winterfell:

Then he heard the horn.

A long low moan, it seemed to hang above the battlements, lingering in the black air, soaking

deep into the bones of every man who heard it. All along the castle walls, sentries turned toward the

sound, their hands tightening around the shafts of their spears. In the ruined halls and keeps of

Winterfell, lords hushed other lords, horses nickered, and sleepers stirred in their dark corners. No

sooner had the sound of the warhorn died away than a drum began to beat: BOOM doom BOOM doom

BOOM doom. And a name passed from the lips of each man to the next, written in small white puffs of

breath. Stannis, they whispered, Stannis is here, Stannis is come, Stannis, Stannis, Stannis.

And naturally I work songs in the books to a performance of them that I like.

[blood of the dragoon]

Classical.

If it has lyrics it has to be a language i don't speak, so as to not distract.

[icecold]

i hear the song of ice and fire

but being serious, idon't listen to anything while reading, it distracts way too much.

[Sullen]

Some Hisaishi, as very low background music.

So soothing.

[N/A]

i do this quit a lot really but only on rereads

so here they are

some classical : mozart (Lacrimoza) Bach (Taccota) and requiems by schubert and some other little known guys
