Book Soundtracks

[teenroses]

Hey, people!

Why don't we make a thread about music and books?

While reading a book, you may think of a certain song-or vice versa. Special books and songs that just seem to go well together??



Example:

The Twilight Series and the CASCADA album go perfectly together (or so they say). Just so happens that I read Twilight during Winter Break, which was also when I got an Idog, and my CASCADA album. I still didn't know how to work my iPod, so I hooked up my iDog to my CD player which had CASCADA in it. I listened to it while I read my book, and then realized "Hey! The music fits perfectly!!!" And so yeah.


Now your turn! smile

When I read that book during winter break I had some smelling stuff on and I identify that smell with that series and Tamora Pierce's Immortal series. I love it.

Phantom of the Opera is a great read with the musical playing alongside it!! ;P

Seriously though I enjoy just 'bout any kind of music with my reading but, thats 'cause I can't stand silence. Nothing to loud of course though just something relaxing or in with whatever genre the book is.  

[Daffodil the Destroyer]

I don't normally listen to music while I read, because I find it distracting... however, predictably, I find that Johann de Meij's Lord of the Rings Symphony goes quite well with Tolkien's trilogy. XD  

[TheWindySea]

I usually have playlists that I've made for certain moods and what. So... When I read, I pick a playlist.

Now, when I read the Supernatural novels, I have a bunch of old, classic rock I listen to.

I can't really listen to much other than classical when I read, or I get distracted. As for songs that remind me of books, I can't think of any off the top of my head. I know there was one overplayed song on the radio that reminded me of Twilight, but I completely forget which one it was. OH WAIT! Never Too Late by Three Days Grace. That was it....

Linkin Park's new CD sounded pretty nice wail I was reading Clockwork Orange.

It's like how I've made playlists for the stories I've written. smile  

[xAngelxKissedx]

I think "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence go pretty well, but I usually don't listen to music while reading.  

[Spirit_of_Midnight]

any adventure book goes will with a POTC soundtrack

I can relate to that. Normally thats how I know I have a good book. The feeling or the smell you get when you see and read it.  

[Islua]

Hmm
I've listened to a rock station while reading but they don't remind me off any book in particular except for the Uglies series by Scott Westerfield.  

[Lostt Eviie]

Some of the songs in the "Heroes and Thieves" album by Vanessa Carlton go well with the Twilight Series.  

[XGamerRichy]

Kingdom Hearts II Soundtrack seems to work with most things I read.... Then again, that's just me.

To Zanarkand goes with a lot of stuff. Like Bella's lullaby, and it's an easy background music while reading...
