I will NEVER be able to do that. I re-read paragraph's 2-4 times before I go to the next page. FML

Just don't have the music blasting in your ears, that just makes it really hard

Try listening to something without lyrics? The music drowns out the annoying sounds of the world around me and provides a nice rhythm.

That's exactly what I do. It has to be a book you want to read, though. If it's schoolwork, then close the book and crank up the music. :)

I just decide whatever it is, I'm going to enjoy doing. It sometimes works for school books lol.

It also helps me if I don't listen to the music really loudly. Like, if you keep the volume at a medium level, or just don't play a distracting song. I often listen to music while doing my homework, and it actually helps me concentrate by blocking out sounds around me.

Yeah, my music is generally really low. Sets a good mood lol. I also enjoy candles for studying haha.

I do it all the time, i find it hard to read if i'm NOT listening to music

I find the silence to be loud. Like, the sounds of the pipes in my building, or people outside, it's more distracting than a little music (I generally listen to instrumental stuff when reading/studying, no lyrics to distract).

I always read while I'm listening to music...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, me too. And now I'm not sure which way to vote :(

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I tend to listen to classical music or just plain instrumental music when I'm reading. It's very relaxing. I can't listen to music that has lyrics though.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I can, but it's usually either music without lyrics, or quiet enough that it's more in the background. I love reading to the Mirror's Edge soundtrack :3
