I'm someone who likes quiet background music when reading and, for years, have put something on to add to the experience. But something uncanny occurred about a year ago while I was reading Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. I had just purchased Ron Sexsmith's Time Being cd and listened to it as I started the first book. It's a beautiful album and I found myself playing it night after night. I soon realized that the cd was a perfect soundtrack for the books. I don't mean Sexsmith's cd just has the similar flavor or atmosphere, I mean it is made for Pullman's books. The songs seem to tell the story.
I'm interested in knowing if you listen to music when you read and if you've ever had an experience like mine.
