Does music compliment a good book?

A lot of people talk about how they cannot read and listen to music at the same time, but I find that I do my quickest and most comprehensive reading while listening to music, albeit it is generally a single song on repeat. I have an obsessive/addictive like personality which "encourages" me to re-read books often and, well, listen to songs I like on repeat. Weird, yes. Do I at least listen to good music, hell yes. These are a few of the songs I listen to that are great from background to a good book.
  1. "Cosmic Love" by Florence and the Machines
  2. "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
  3. "Siren Song" by Bat for Lashes
  4. "I Was Broken" covered by Robert Pattinson
  5. "Running Up That Hill" by Placebo
  6. "The Weight of Us" by Sanders Bohlke
  7. "Keep on Tryin'" by Poco
  8. "Heartbeats" by Jose Gonzalez
I'm likin' the lists. I'm likin' the music. And yes, Mike Newton, I'm likin' the rain.
