New feature: soundtracks

Sometimes when I read a book, I listen to a new album at the same time. This mostly happens on the subway on the way to and from work. The music becomes entwined with the book. I first noticed this a long time ago, listening to Mahler’s Fifth Symphony over and over again while reading The Silmarillion. Similarly, Midnight Oil’s Diesel and Dust is associated with Gene Wolfe’s The Shadow of the Torturer.

So now I’m going to add a Soundtrack note whenever this happens in the future.
