What, if any, kind of music do you listen to when you’re reading? (Given a choice, of course!)
It depends on the kind of reading. If I’m reading emails or casually reading news and other articles online, I may have a little bit of everything playing.
But if I’m reading comics or books where I actually want to “mentally invest” in what I’m reading, has to be instrumental stuff.
Typically, I go with movie scores/soundtracks. I find that my FAVORITE movie score/soundtrack to listen to–as a whole–is the music from Gladiator. I’ll often mix stuff from that, from John Williams’ work (Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Superman, etc.), Lion King, Aladdin, Pirates of the Caribbean, and whatever else strikes my fancy at the time.
Lately I’ve been enjoying the Green Lantern soundtrack/score after getting hooked by the opening/prologue track.
It’s really that simple, I’d say.
