I also enjoy this so so much!! I usually listen to movie scores and it makes the reading experience so much more epic! :)

Pretty much everything by Hans Zimmer works perfectly :) For me especially Interstellar, Inception and Man of Steel. That also depends on the setting and the overall feeling of the book of course :)

The older stuff I recommend the lieders by alma Mahler. Female composers suppressed by time, truly exceptional.

Which Dune? In case you don’t know, Toto did the soundtrack for the first one.

I was referring to the newer one as the original will just make you think of sting in his underwear...and then you ain't doin no reading anymore.

Oh, man, I definitely need to try this the next time I read some Tolkien. Howard Shore's score is phenomenal.
