So, by your statement, you seem to think that reading without distractions is "primitive"? Maybe my brain doesn't multi-task in the same ways that yours does, but when I'm reading a good book I wish to tune out the world. That's the joy of reading for millions of people; to leave the common world behind and play - even if only for a moment - in an imaginary one. That act is one of the most sophisticated and creative acts available to mankind. How would muddying that experience with music (or any other background noise) somehow elevate it from a primitive means of reading to a sophisticated one? I'm not trying to start an argument, but your comment is insulting to anyone who loves the pure joy of reading without distraction. I'd rethink the wording.
