Reading while listening to music. I don't always have music playing while reading. If I do, I usually like listening to either jazz or classical music.
What do you usually do? Do you like listening to music while reading?

rwmg Not often, but if I do have music on it has to be instrumental or sung in a language I don't know so that my attention isn't split between the words on the page and the lyrics. 4mo

You definitely need to be very interested in Ancient Rome and August Caesar to make it through this book, or just be a huge history buff. It was really interesting but definitely a heavy read, and if you aren‘t 100% into it right off the bat with this one, you probably won‘t make it through it. I found it a bit tedious at times because I do not enjoy most historical things, but I do love a good biography and this one was fascinating in many ways.
