Oh I do that quite a lot actually, so a little difficult to chose. Rob Sheffield’s „Love is a Mixtape“ would be a bit too obvious I guess, so I think I’ll go for John Steinbeck’s „Cannary Row“
I read this book while on holiday in Italy and the everything about the book yearned for a soundtrack to listen to in the evening in the garden of our little white cottage we had rented.
The complete review of „Cannery Row“ you can find here:

So I did and here you go:

Have you ever done a mixtape or a playlist for a book and if yes, please share 🙂
I never have made a soundtrack myself, but Cannery Row plus your soundtrack just got put on my „2017 definitely got to read/listen to list“.
Sehr coole Playlist!
Ah die Mondscheinsonate. So schön! Danke für diesen wunderbaren Ausflug. Was mir pers. in deiner Liste fehlt, ist das Violinenkonzert von Antonio Lucio Vivaldi. (https://youtu.be/iC0Sqn-ERmU). Da geht mein Herzschlag mit! LG 😉
