    None. Whenever I’m reading a book that I really like, I completely forget that the outside world even exists. It wouldn’t matter whether I’m playing music or not as I won’t hear any of it anyway.

      Kind of like having background music in an action sequence of a movie, builds up hype or sets the tone of the book.

    LoFi and synthwave are my normal go-to choices but I’ll also theme it around the style of book I’m reading, like tavern music for light fantasy or space movie soundtracks for sci-fi. Has to be mostly wordless though.

    I listen to music most of the day, even in class as a teacher. But I don’t listen to anything when I’m reading, it’s just a distraction for me.
