Isn't the content of the page interesting enough? Why do you need
more visual interest? I usually turn backgrounds off when I want to
seriously read something, because any background picture, even a
simple geometric design, distracts from the actual text.

It's probably my age or my personality: I don't like background music
when I'm working either, because it draws attention to itself. I can
shut my ears quite effectively because I'm using different senses to
work, but when there are two visual things (text and background)
vying for attention it's harder to concentrate without getting a
headache.
