A Great King book and great music?

[Trueivy]

Okay. I may be the only one. But I love to read and listen to music at the same time. I grab a book off the shelf and grab a cd, put on my earphones and get lost in the story. I love listening to RADIOHEAD and SYD MATTERS, and THE VELVET TEEN while I read King Novels. Does anyone else do that? And if so what do you listen to?

[CrowsFeet]

i do that all the time. i usually can read for three hours and it will only feel like 20 miniutes

I read a book and listen to music in several time. Because I can't concentration if music play the same time as I read.

[Fran D'Amico]

When I read Wizards in the Glass.The part where Roland and his ka tet get on the tail of the hundred cowboys and mow them down.I listen to the second part of a song by Mo Rage.It is an instrumental version of a song called Return of the Priest King. It is perfect chase music.It even has a galloping lick in the bass lines .See if I can't find a way to post it or a link to it.

Can't do it, have to "see the word-be the word". I've been a radio announcer for over 30 years in addition to being a Registered Nurse, so I tend to concentrate on lyrics too, so one would distract me from the other.

Being a musician its hard for me to ignore the music when its playing so I tend not to do this. I have, though, but can't remember which books I was reading when I did. That should say something.

[Christiane17]

The only sort of music I can listen to while reading or writing is classic or soft jazz. Anything else makes me deconcentrate.

I only put on the headphones to read when there's too much commotion to concentrate otherwise. But when I do, it's always the same album. The Slip by Nine Inch Nails. Don't ask me why NIN. I don't know. It just works.

Anything else makes me deconcentrate.

Hi,

Great word, Christiane!

When a friend of his said (after hearing one of Oscar's 'bon mots'), 'I wish I'd said that', Oscar' Wilde replied 'Oh, you will, you will'!

Long days and pleasant nights

I write to familiar, upbeat music.

I read in silence or in the bathroom.
