I am working my way through WoT again and the only downside is there's a wait time for the books from my library. I also 'reread' the Dresden files this way.

The only books I have done originally as audiobooks are The Expanse series, and I really only did that so I could watch the TV show with a clear conscense.

The best way to read will always be out loud, to someone you love. Which is kind of like an audiobook for them, isn't it?


Still, one isn't get the same thing from a re-"read".

But hey, I honestly have no problem with people listening to audiobooks. They just shouldn't claim to have "read" a book that way.

Also, a followup: are you saying blind people can't read unless they find novels in braille? *NM* Ghavrel - 16/03/2024 03:03:14 AM 186 Views
