Any background sound which you notice (for the better or worse) is detracting from your reading.

One does not read an album. One listens to it.

Factually true. Not even gonna meme 'based xD' or anything, if you listen to music while reading it's a) shit music b) you're neither really listening nor reading either way the following holds c) you're a consumerist pleb

so none of you autists ever listen to music while reading Yea Forums?

good ambient music is worthy of active listening

ash ra - new age of earth
popol vuh - in dem garten pharaos
software - chip meditation 1
software - chip meditation 2

But the entire point is that you can choose the depth of your engagement. You can and should listen to it actively but it can also just be played in the background.

anything by gas is top tier background music

worthy yes but that's not really its primary function

I find this works with almost anything

>tfw tinnitus and can never enjoy reading in silence ever again

This. Even sleeping is difficult.

Yes, I have heard of 'shit music', your point?

A white noise generator is the only thing any non-retard listens to while reading. Actual white noise, not stupid ass nature sounds and shit.

This is some advanced autism. I can listen to Mozart actively or as background music.

I only listen to real music

Doubt it.

Absolutely true.
Good music captivates, distracting from reading. Even shitty music is a distraction.

Can we all at least agree that classical music sucks and it's listeners are pretentious?

That's not objectively true. There is a lot of great music that is not meant to be the centre of attention. How about movie soundtracks, when music plays do you suddenly lose all attention to film and just focus on solely the music? Doesn't make sense

Bill Evans Trio - Portrait in Jazz, Sunday at the Vanguard
Any of the music from Jeremy Soule who made the music for Elder Scrolls and Guild Wars

>pretentious contrarian calls people pretentious
Epic

Based

For me, its got to be the ambient sounds of wherever I am reading. Doesnt need to be silence, but I cant stand music played directly into my ears

the obvious answer

Mallsoft such as Hantasi Vacant Places

don't read and listen to music simultaneously.

Why not
What will you do to stop me

We get it, you have autism and any small sonic disturbance breaks your concentration. Not all of us are that way

I have to retract my opinio in part, after listening in to the popol vuh rec of some previous user. This is actually very enjoyable, the very slowly shifting sonic shapes of the music and its low expressivity facilitate a kind of tuning out of the music and tuning into something else, or letting your mind wander. Perfect to listen to while doing some light lit browsing and shitposting. But never could I read serious material, fiction or non fiction stuff along with it; likewise I couldn't even keep shitposting if youtube started to autoplay Beethoven's 9th subsequently.

i will pray to god to save your soul.
>alexa, play ambient radio

if you're actually reading books in 2019, when all sorts of drugs screens and fornicational options, or combinations of those, are readily available to you, then you definitely suffer from some form of autism. So what, though?

I just put on really good music that fits the mood of the book that I've already heard countless times so that it can completely fade into the background

I just put on Bob Ross videos on autoplay on youtube and turn down the volume till the only sounds my brain makes out are just soft, low unintelligible mumbles. Everything else distracts my ADHD ass.

For me, it's Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2

When I read Brothers Karamasov, I listened to Catholic/Orthodox chants

I only listen to music while reading manga
