Can You Read With Music Playing?

Can You Read With Music Playing?

One time I was studying for a final in my dorm room and I had my headphones on, listening to my favorite music. My roommate looked at me quizzically for a moment then said, "How can you read and listen to music?"

"What?" I said, confused. I had no problem with it, I actually prefer it! But she explained to me that it is hard for her to focus on reading when she's listening to music.

I was wondering, does anyone else have the same issue?

Unless it's a book for school sadly.
It's hard enough to focus without the music! lol

I never mastered the art of multi-tasking.

I meant to pick the other choice... I couldn't read the choices right.

.... oh wait music is playing...

The music eventually becomes like a soundtrack to what I'm reading.

It depends on what I'm reading. But usually, if it's a really good book or the like, I like it quiet around me. :)

I'm a multitasker. It's not unusual to see me riding my bike while texting over 3 people at once while listening to music and singing out loud!

the music doesn't demand attention. I often listen to 18th century classical music, for example, as a background while reading .

the music is only in the background. Like the music is only on so that it doesn't seem too quiet.
