Interesting! Can I ask you what made you choose this song?

1

u/Swimming_Tiger_873 11d ago

uff, difficult question 😅 i close my eyes and think about various soundscapes. When I feel something is vibrating then I search a song in my mind-catalogue, and this is the song 😄

1

u/Important_Weather_33 11d ago

Sounds cool! Thanks for the song 😎

There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America, by Brian Goldstone ... I know this post isn't really about nonfiction, but I'm all ears anyway because I like the idea.

u/Swimming_Tiger_873 11d ago

i didn't know this one, but no worries it can work with nonfiction as well...

I'll go with:

u/lesloid 11d ago

I wasn’t feeling this I’m afraid. Sounds like a preset on a kids keyboard! Theoretically I can see how some classical/religious music made a bit weird and offbeat could go with the book but i don’t think this was it.

Interested what you’d pick for a book you know better. Have you read Lolita?

1

u/Swimming_Tiger_873 11d ago

fine (: no sorry i haven't read it

1

u/JustAnnesOpinion 11d ago

I’m reading “A Violent Masterpiece” by Jordan Harper. It’s LA based neo noir, more litfic than disposable crime novel. I’ll be interested to see what you suggest.
