Here's the music that has been accompanying my reading this week:
Darkfever
One would think I'd go for Irish music with this one, since it's set in Dublin, but I actually found the mix of sexuality, cynicism, romanticism, and good vs. evil that populates Leonard Cohen's music to be more appropriate. Here are two of my faves:
Wow, Leonard Cohen is really old!
Flat-Out Sexy
I'm also reading Flat-Out Sexy by Erin McCarthy (review forthcoming). With a NASCAR-set book and a Southern hero, how could I resist listening to some country music?
Do you like to listen to music while you read? What songs have you been setting to books this week?
