The best music for reading and writing by

Some people can’t write while listening to music because it distracts them too much, especially if there’s lyrics. Other people can’t read while listening to music, for the same reason I guess. But I love doing both. I get sucked into a book way more when I have a good soundtrack, and I can’t write without music. Different books need different soundtracks, though– sometimes it’s gospel music, sometimes it’s blues, sometimes it’s hip hop. Or the Mountain Goats and Joni Mitchell. Sometimes I’ll leave little clues in stuff I write about what I was listening to as I wrote it, so if people want they can listen to the same stuff as they read it.

But everything goes with Stevie Wonder. Right?
