/lit/ - Literature

Silence

nothing. Why would you dilute your connection to the book.

Classical, sometimes ambient like Harold Budd

I'm often reading in places I can't focus without headphones.

Nothing and I refuse to read in public due to noise, the only proper reading setup is inside a soundproof room

la dispute
hotel books
screamcore
some kind of jazz or lofi mix on youtube

Although you may want to read in an unaccommodating setting, you'd be doing yourself a disservice.

If the book is well written, I imagine my own music that suits the book. When I lissen to the wrong music while reading it it doesn't benefit the reading expirience. I tried it sometimes again to listen to music while reading but had no luck on finding the right music. I think, when the book is good, you don't need to lissen to music.

Imagine not listening to music only as a completely separate activity.

Right now I’m reading Crime and Punishment. I feel like Schubert and Bach are somewhat fitting.

Genuinely can't listen while reading, always end up paying more attention to the music. Gets in the way of the lovely feeling of just sinking into a book :/

Irrlicht, harmony in ultraviolet, The tired sounds of the stars of the lid, l'ile resonante, structures from silence, hosianna mantra, apollo.
Basically any comfy ambient-y album.

I put on ocean sounds if the neighbors are having sex too loud, otherwise nothing

>>19426934
bruh i should read more english literature

Heavy rain & thunder 12 HOURS (NO LOOP}

Drone + minimalism. Anything else is too distracting. My reading habit is pretty much why my music listening has slowed down so much. That, and the fact that /lit/ is a much better board than /mu/.
