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.

I can't read with music. I've tried but music is something I can't just listen to. I must experience it that means my brain can't read my book if I am experiencing the music. I know some can though. I even bought a classical album called reading music. Didn't work. Some people can read while the TV is blasting not me. I need quiet and no distractions.
I read fiction though. Sirmaru reads non fiction. Maybe that's the difference.
