Is it acceptable to listen to music while reading?

Why wouldn't it be? Reading to music is a good way to keep from being distracted. Especially when everyone in your house like to talk obnoxiously loud.

sweet taste breh
I don't usually listen to music when I read unless it's an album that kinda fits the mood of what I'm reading. like for example I listened to either/or by elliott smith when I read the catcher in the rye and it kinda helped me get into the world of the novel

I listen to a continuous loop of city rain.

I need instrumental music. Classical that's not too loud like Fauré or maybe some jazz like Bill Evans.
I really only listen to instumental. Call me retarded but any "artificial" voice that comes through a speaker is distracting. White crowd noise doesn't bother me too much t b h

Depends what you are reading, really. If you are tackling an author with confusing prose--"postmodernists" like McElroy, Gass, Gaddis, Pynchon; and, as if wasn't implied, stream-of-consciousness-heavy authors like Joyce, Faulkner, and Lowry--it can impossible--at the very least, difficult--to understand what's happening. But that's just me.

You're a terrible writer.
There's music, and then there's reading music

Why the fuck are you typing like that
This isn't /lit/: the novel

That's how I think--by extension, how I exist--stylishly.

Kill yourself
only noise and drone sometimes ambient where the music doesn't so immediately impose an emotional response. silence is ideal though, but even then Cagean aesthetics betray me (so environment nonetheless affects the phenomenology of a text)
Only if it's this

I'm going to haunt you so hard.
No. I can't focus on anything when music is playing because I always focus on the music.
This is why ambient is the one genre that doesn't agree with me.

Congratulations!

yes, music is the most important thing.
i always put on post rock such as DMST and Godspeed whenever i read
>>7712869
>Fauré
Light jazz beats, classical or post rock depending on the mood of what I'm reading. A consensus most of us have reached I guess
>>7712806
What's the name of the one in the lower left?
only if its classical. rock music is cancer and /mu/ has a juvenile taste
