Novel/Book/Story theme songs

Here's an interesting topic for you guys. I was discussing this with a group of friends of mine a while back and they came to the same conclusion that books have their own music and theme songs attached to them. Most people don't realize it, as it's part of the experience, and most writers don't realize they're playing their own theme song in their head as they write. But once other people got to thinking about it, the more they realized that yes, music does play a part in writing books, as well as reading them. It's unconscious, but it's there.

On that thought, what would you guys say is the theme song for your favorite book(s)? Or maybe just the common background music? (IE, what song, or type of song) I have one that I use a lot for my books when I'm writing them that's actually used a lot in trailers, mostly because it's associated a lot with action, and my books have a lot of action in them. One place you can here the theme song I'm talking about is in the new Prince of Persia movie trailer. (the song starts at about 1:31)

So, what theme song(s) or music do you hear in your mind when reading or writing a book or story?
