| Can anyone really listen to music and read at the same time? |
| I like to have some background noise when reading I'll even put rain sounds sometimes. Reading in pure silence gets me sleepy easily |
   |
| If there's no lyrics I guess it's fine but generally I really don't like listening to music when I'm doing anything that requires concentrating / taking in information. |
| Music without lyrics, like instrumental stuff. I know its not reading reading, but when I read Vinland Saga I have soundtrack music playing. I sometimes listen to lofi when I study. |
| I swear I saw plenty of threads exactly like this. But yes. Doesnt everyone do that…?? |
| I can listen to soft classical music while reading, or ambient music. Nothing with vocals and nothing that's too loud, though. |
| Yeah. That's what I usually do when it comes to manga |

| If I'm doing it for educational purposes then I prefer the place where I'm reading to be totally quite no sound at all to distract thus I get the highest concentration to focus but a chill lofi beat in the background will not do any harm so I'm fine with a chill music too |
 |
| I do that all the time at night, i like to listen to music while reading specially if the type of music fits the thing that I'm reading, it just gives a whole new vibe to it for me |
 |
| yes instrumental music since I get distracted if the song has lyrics in it |
| I love listening to music while reading. It adds to the ambiance lolol |
   How can they see the love in our eyes And still, they don't believe us? And after all this time They don't want to believe us |
| Yeah. It's fun listening to Slam Dunk theme songs while reading Slam Dunk |
 |
| I canť focus on reading without music. Only exception is on bus or train. I just got used to listening to it to everything. |
 |
| I can't, I'm the type to be easily distracted |
| Certain things I can do that with - Magazines & Manga but if it's novels or light novels I prefer not to. |
 |
| i always put background music on while i'm doing stuff, and there isn't really music i can't listen to while doing something, so to answer your question, yes, i always put music on while i read. |
| Yes though most of the music I use while reading are osts without singers I don't mind those from time to time either. |
| yeah some sort of fitting background music. Like some sci fi or dark fantasy theme songs. I tend to just use playlists I find on spotify and skip a lot. I definitely dont have the sort of music on while reading which I would listen to usually. I think I have met (someone like) you just recently. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Yes and I listen to everything from classical music, dubstep, hardbass, electronic, pop etc. and also I can't do anything in silence (while writing it I am listening to hardbass raz raz raz x) ), the only times when I am not listening to music is when I am sleeping, listening to lecture/lessons in university, talking with anybody and any water sports like swimming/windsurfing etc. as I don't have a waterproof case for my phone to listen music. (in middle-school I used to go to sleep with headphones and 50% volume music on) I love your music choice, I would also recommend for reading those songs: |

| Most of the times I just read in silence, maybe with my headphones on but without playing anything. If I really want to listen to something while readin I put on some instrumental hip hop or game soundtrack, anything with lyrics gets distracting |
| What up? To all rappers: shut up with your shutting up And keep a shirt on, at least a button-up Yuck, is they rhymers or strippin' males? Out of work jerks since they shut down Chippendales https://www.last.fm/user/nataniel_r |
| I sometimes do that when i'm reading something that could entertains me. Reading a manga or a novel for example. To me, the song i picked could set the mood for the things that i read. Yes, I can read and listen to music at the same time. |

| Not as much anymore, it distracts too much and it minimizes the enjoyment I get out of both. |
 |
| I'm listening to music right now while i read this thread, i also do it when reading manga and novels |
 |
| No I prefer to read in silence, but if it's just browsing the net then yeah read and listen at the same time |
| 한 번만 살지만 제대로 하면 한 번이면 충분해요 |
| I can't focus without music, I think it actually helps me immerse into it and keeps me reading for longer. |
| There is a weird thing about me. I do work, homework, writing and a lot of other things while listening to music. It helps me concentrate and makes it all feel less boring and tedious. It's also some kind of motivation, but when it comes to reading, I just get distracted. I just can't. I find myself reading the page over and over again without really understanding shit. My brain multitasks with the other combinations, but not with the reading while listening to music one. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| i like listening to vocaloid or anime music when i read. helps concentration |
 |
| Reading as in reading some novel or poem, yeah listening to some background music can help. But if you're talking about studying, then no, listening to music is the worst thing you can do |
| شقایق، اینجا من، خیلی غریبم |
| That's the most torturous thing I would ever do to me , so I don't ever do that. I can't imagine the headache if I get that , just hell with your background music |
 |
| The type of music that's best for reading to (i.e., classical, ambient, etc.), I don't listen to. I definitely wouldn't read listening to The Who or anything. |
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| my brain filter our one of the wtwo so i'm either listening to music or reading but it can help me focus for some odd reasons, i used to listen to music while doing tests onlyne for school during dad because i couldn't focus on them and i found it worked for focusing on them, but i never tried to read a book whie listening to music,i did it wth manga and if its an aciton scene i can if its dialouge i tend to filter out one of them, the same goes with thoughts, i either imagine somehting ina music video style while listening to music or think at something else and miss the song so i need to rewind |
| I can't really remember much of what I'm reading when I listen to music haha, but it does by far help with being able to get through chapters. |
 |
| Listening to music while doing something in general generally helps me from being distracted. |
| hmm. |
| Yo. I always listen to music while reading whether it be manga or a normal book/novel. Depending on the book that decides the genre. Helps be more immersive imo. |
 |
| Yeah, I often listen to music while reading. I recently amuse myself with stuff like ManOwar while studying, It really gets me hyped. You could literally find me banging my head solving equations or writing essays etc. Just now I realize how strange that must be, lol |
