Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon discussion

What do you prefer to listen to while you are reading print books? Do you put on music? Do you need quiet to focus? Do you pick different music depending on what you are reading?

I need quiet to focus, I wish I could listen to music at the same time. I love music!

Same!
Sometimes I do put on some background music, what’s it called, like zen sounds/music, but I like the quiet the best.

Also same. I have difficulty focusing with background noise. If there's too much, I'll put on headphones and play some type of white noise/fan/café sounds to drown it out.

I play Starbucks jazz . Volume low . Youtube has several different styles of it .
