Booking Through Thursday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Deb about (mostly) books and reading. This week’s question:
Do you ever try to pair music with the book you’re reading? Play the movie soundtrack while reading the original book? Find mood music that fits with your story?
I don’t actually like to listen to music while I read. I tend to either read in silence or with the television on in the back ground. I love reading in public though. I like the sound of the world around me because for some reason I find it easier to immerse myself into the world of the book.
There are the occassional times I pair my book with some music. When I was reading The Hobbit I put on the soundtrack to the Lord of the Rings movies. It was awesome.
What do you play while you read? or do you read in silence?

It sounds like we are reading twins! I also read in silence or with the television on in silence. Pairing The Hobbit with the LOTR soundtrack sounds awesome! I can definitely see the soundtrack getting the reader more into the story.

Oh hey there reading twin!
I forgot to add that at one point I was reading The Hobbit on the plane ride to Peru and they had all three movies so I read with those playing. It was awesome!
