diomedes companion playlist

you’re wonderin’ what this is.

a companion playlist. imagine the book is a limited tv series and each of its eight chapters is an episode. these are the songs that would play when the credits roll.

you’re wondering how it works.

when i’m reading a book, i like to stop after each chapter to reflect on what i read, maybe to try to empathize with a character after a questionable choice, to process a shocking plot beat, or to give myself a breather after a tense or emotional scene. stopping after a chapter to listen to the corresponding track (ch. 1, track 1, etc.) gives you a moment to reflect or recover, and the songs are chosen to tonally and/or thematically match their chapter’s hanging end.

alternatively, you could listen ahead and try to anticipate or brace yourself. that could be fun.
