I use this sometimes. I start a station and use Nox Arcana as my seed. After that I don't thumbs up any songs and will only thumbs down a song if it is too far outside what I consider to be calming music that can enhance anything from reading these kinds of books to playing a session of tabletop role playing games.

Having said that I do tend to have sportscenter on in the background when I've read lately. To each his own, I guess.
