Do you listen to music while reading???

hai vidhya i used to study while listening to music thats dosent distracts me but when i started doing this it was a little tough i started this because we have a temple near my home and every day evening thye used to put loud noice and i cant study so i started listening to musics and study and it became a habit to me

Even though I do listen music almost all the time, 'cause it just sets a background to me (Which means that I don't really pay attention to it most of the time), when I'm reading it's a different thing. For me to read, I DO need absolute silence, and that's why I read just before going to sleep: 'cause there's no noises around. =)

Yup, I find it kinda distracting too. So usually, I do not play the music while reading. But if I put my mind to it, I suppose I can try to read anyway. But if I am gonna lie on the bed to read anyway, I might as well switch off the computer (so no music) and concentrate on enjoying the book. Cheers!

Hi, I agree with U. I too never prefer to listen music while reading. Really I salute those people who are reading and listening music at the same time.

yes! i always listen to music while reading(even my subject books!)...even during the higher secondary public exams,i listened to music and i scored some 92% dont that sound good? For me music is like a meditation.It gets me more concentration! It integrates my mind from other unwanted thoughts,etc,etc,... MUSIC IS DIVINE

no and never it's not my habit

I prefer quiet when I read, but am able to read when the kids have stuff going, i.e. video games, t.v., or piano. With kids in the house there is almost always some noise, so I have learned to tune it out.

I can't read and listen to music at the same time. I tried to do it, but caught myself singing the song and I couldn't catch the main idea. So I like to read in silence.

I have seen people do this before also and i have no clue how they do it...Sometimes when I am trying to read a book and my kids have the T.V. on it drives me crazy and I either have to go to a different room or put the book away... Seems like all I take in is the back round noise and when I ge back to the book later i have to reread everything I read when there was back round noise cause i can't remember what I read

I listen to music when I am writing, but while reading I just couldn't do it.

I don't read with a music on, because yes it distracts me also. I love to listen to a music while mylotting, lol. Maybe it is possible for other people.

yeah no problem. i read books while listening to music, watching tv, and sometimes while talking on the phone(only if the other person talks a LOT). At first music could be a litlle distracting but once you get into the book, you'll block the music out and you'll concentrate on the book. Maybe you should try putting the volume a little down so you can concentrate more on the book

If o I find I have trouble focusing and end up having to reread certain parts.

I share a room with my older bro, and he always played some loud metal in the background when i was reading, so i got used to listen to music vhile reading, and even the loudest noises won't draw my attention away from the book ;D
