Music for reading 

I’m reading The Master and Margarita, by Bulgakov, and quickly put together a playlist of music tailored for the book’s mood and tone. It’s not very good because I don’t have much of an ear for putting together playlists, but I couldn’t find anything similar online and I like hearing music which fits, rather than generic “coffeehouse” music.

I decided to put it online, in case anyone on here is interested. It’s for The Master and Margarita, but it would probably fit most supernatural books (especially those with some history mixed in). Not sure if I’ll do more, we’ll see. Hope you like it!

"If you read one book a week, starting at the age of 5, and live to be 80, you will have read a grand total of 3,900 books, a little over one-tenth of 1 percent of the books currently in print."
