Do you imagine (hear) a soundtrack in your head when you are reading a book? I sometimes do but then again, I do not hear words in my head when reading but rather see pictures. Like a movie playing in my head! So it is only natural that there is a spot for music too.
My favorite book is "Betrayal at Krondor" by Raymond E. Feist so naturally the music would be orchestral, symphonic. Imagine John Williams and Howard Shore kind of music.
How would you imagine a soundtrack to your favorite book? What kind of music would it be?

If you're reading Battlefield Earth (which I don't recommend) the only possible soundtrack is L. Ron Hubbard's soundtrack to the book (which I don't recommend). https://amzn.to/3jBCRlG

While not technically a soundtrack, when I read Romeo and Juliet, I hear Prokofiev's ballet score in my head.

No really, I don't think. I find music tremendously distracting when I read fiction (it's ok when I read non-fiction), and I do not explicitly imagine any music when reading a book, though I remember some notable exceptions.
I imagined a lot of music when I read CLOUD ATLAS, especially of course in the chapters that took place in Belgium where the Cloud Atlas Sextet was composed, so I always wondered about how that might sound, but I also somehow had music for other scenes "in my head", even the type of background muzak for the fast food restaurant scenes in Seoul.

When i read Force 10 from Novocane i heard Ron Goodwin's music in my mind's ear. Imagine my surprise when the film came out, there it was.

Never had this experience, but I do have a best friend who I used to record my soundtracks for onto cassette tape. He was a big sf novel reader and I had all the sf movie soundtracks and he read while listening.
