Thanks for the reminder. I'm with you on the classical and jazz.

I remember finding that special coffee shop where there is a nice relaxing atmosphere with great coffee. I do listen to classical music when I read because classical music makes me feel relaxed. :)Matthttp://mattviews.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-35133403640062625002009-09-21T13:05:53.808-05:002009-09-21T13:05:53.808-05:00I used to be able to read and do homework in front...I used to be able to read and do homework in front of the tv! Not so anymore. I love to go in my room and listen to our local smooth jazz station. They play long sets of music in the evenings, and I find it to be very relaxing. I can't handle any other music, but maybe I could do classical. I just seem to be too lazy to pull out my classical cd's. The radio is so much easier.<br />I am so looking forward to the Fall Read-a-Thon too! <br /><br />*smiles*<br />Kim Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-1371549120363711582009-09-21T10:57:43.220-05:002009-09-21T10:57:43.220-05:00I prefer quiet to read but there are times when so...I prefer quiet to read but there are times when soft music can be on--generally only instrumental because I strain to understand lyrics, even if I don't care--while I read.
