I don't like any distraction when reading either a book, article, forums, etc. I can see light music in the background works for some but I like concentrating on one thing at a time. Plus, if it's a good song, I tend to shift my focus onto the lyrics lol What about you? Do you have anything on in the background?

If I listen to anything while I'm reading, it's classical music like Mozart or Beethoven.
However, I will listen to some specific genres of music while I write. I find that it helps me get into the dramatic mood of what I'm writing. If I want to write something with a lot of action beats, I'll choose something like Techno, or J-POP. (I tend to not want to listen to music in my native language, so nothing I can understand. I want the words to fade into the rhythm or melody). However, if I'm writing something romantic, I'll put on some Soft Rock, ballads or love themes (words now don't matter so much, as the definitions of the lyrics enhance the music, and therefore the feelings that I want to convey). Sometimes, I'll even reference the song titles in my fiction, like the radio will play such and such song, or maybe this music is just playing in the air randomly out of nowhere (and break the Fourth wall -- comedy).

I don't care for any music or noise but I honestly can see your point of view especially when you go with the beat, not the words, in the background. It's just like at a fine dining restaurant they play slow music while other restaurants play faster to get YOU to eat faster & hence out of there quicker.

I do have the TV or music on sometimes while reading.
