A pretty vague question I know, but I’m not looking for any specific answer. I’m just curious what peoples thoughts are on audiobooks. Perhaps how you think they compare to paper books or how listening compares to reading. Any thoughts you have on the subject is welcome.

    Did you like being read to as a kid? I loved it and it’s a bit like that for me. With a good narrator at least.

    When I listen to audiobooks it’s usually while driving or doing chores. I have my car stereo and my earbuds anyway so there’s no additional investment on that end.

    I do thing some books and some narrators are more suitable than others but for me it’s a great way to enjoy books where I normally wouldn’t.

      For as long as I can remember, not a lot. Usually because of the rithym. Maybe I’m just weird.

        Everybody’s a little weird.

        If this is your particular brand of weirdness its a hell of a lot better than what some people have.

        Keep on trucking you magnificent weirdo!
