What Does the Bookworm Say?: Music

Hi and welcome to What Does the Bookworm Say?, a feature where I discuss bookish topics with my friends at The Reader’s Antidote, Books Unbound and The Windy Pages. Each week, we will discuss a new bookish topic. This week’s topic is music. Do you listen to it while reading or do you prefer silence? If you listen to music while reading, bonus points for sharing your current playlist.

My answer is going to be short and boring. I don’t really listen to music when I read. I find music too distracting when I read. However, that does not mean that I read in silence. I am a big background/white noise kind of person and prefer to leave the TV on really low while I read. That way I have some sound going on but it’s nothing that I would want to pay attention to. I choose programs that I’ve seen before or else there’s the risk of getting sucked into watching it. And that is my short and boring answer.

Do you guys like to listen to music while you read or do you prefer something else? Don’t forget to check out what The Reader’s Antidote, Books Unbound and The Windy Pages have to say about this topic as well. If you have a topic you’d like us to cover, just leave it in the comments below.
