So what’s “Musical Monday”? Just pick the book you’re currently reading (or just finished), then think of a song or album that best matches the book. Even hitting shuffle on your musical player will do the trick. I don’t know about you, but songs pop into my head all the time when reading books, or the perfect song will start playing while reading it and it feels like two atoms exploding in my brain! Plus, it’s a fun way to introduce artists that others might not know about.

The Book:

The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin

The Song:

Genius Next Door by Regina Spektor

The Reason:

The song has such a sad tune and even though the words DO NOT match the book, the melody does. Plus, it has “genius” in the title. Cop out, but whateves.
