You know, at low volumes. I only ask because I've completely worn out Eno's Music for Airports by now.

Thelonious Monk : Round Midnight
Aoki Takamasa and Tujiko Noriko : 28
Jill Scott : Experience

Now that I look at these suggestions I don't know why they seem to be good to read to. They work for me.

Anouar Brahem, Le pas du chat noir.
Loren Connors and David Grubbs, Arborvitae.
Charles Mingus, Mingus Plays Piano.
Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Insen.
Peter Scherer, Very Neon Pet.
Rachel's, Music for Egon Schiele.
Erik Satie, the original "furniture music."
To Rococo Rot, The Amateur View.

I even think Low's Long Division makes nice ambient music.

I was about to suggest adventures beyond the ultraworld. Personally I can listen to just about any kind of music while reading.

I cannot listen to music and read at the same time. I block out one or the other. Maybe whale songs, I could do, but I wouldn't get anything out of it.

second the deep instrumental dub.

What music do you read to? (Seriously.)

As a terrible reader, who almost always uses music as a cruch for reading I'd say, well you ruled out the Eno so right there that takes away the number one choice. I think Vladislav Delay would work nicely. Then theres uhhh, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Ekkehard Ehlers, SAWII which was mentioned above, and uhhh, noise music is good if you just turn it low, or just turn on the radio to Am stations just slightly off to make it totally distorted, which i tend to do a lot when studying or stuff.
