Generally in silence, but will occasionally read with the classic radio station on or with some Ludovico Einaudi or Philip Wesley playing.

Silence. This house is madness. If it‘s quiet for once, I surely will keep it this way.

Silence unless there is a lot of background noise (when reading in public for example), if there’s a lot of background noise I listen to classical piano (songs with lyrics would be too distracting)

depends on where i’m reading. if i’m in public, i’ll listen to music with just sound and on repeat. otherwise, i read without music, doesn’t necessarily need to be total silence.

Silsence! My hearing is really bad so my brain kinda just automatically focuses on whatever is making noise around me, even if it’s background noise. Because I usually have to focus really hard when there’s too much noise going on. So, I get distracted from actually reading
