Musing Mondays (6)

Musing Mondays is hosted by Rebecca at Just One More Page...

Do you listen to music while reading? Does this change if you’re reading in or out of your house? Do you have a preference of music for such occasions?


Oh, heck no! I can't listen to music while I'm reading. My brain can't handle two inputs like that at the same time. I end up listening to the music and my eyes just skim over the page without my brain registering anything about what I'm reading. Or, if I try really hard, I can grasp the story... but then I end up tuning out the music. So what's the point?

  2. I agree with you, I cannot read when there;s music in the background. 1.Because I will sing a long with the song! 2. Afterwards I dont know what i just read! :)

  3. I'm one of those people that can read admist loud noise. But I relish and require silence for its own sake and given the choice, I'd read in glorious peace. :)

  5. Well, sometimes. If it is a lighter read I can listen to music. But mostly if the music is on it is just to have background noise. Silence sometimes bothers my nerves. But, then there are times when I am so into my story and what is happening at the moment I prefer silence so I can focus.
