I do on occasion, but I never end up finishing them. I always feel like I'd rather be reading it instead.

No I don't think I shall. It's better to read books so your brain is doing more work, allowing you to stave off dementia for longer.

They work well for genre fiction and plot books that are dialogue heavy (with a reader who can do voices and remembers which character has what voice) and with a simple sentemce structure. Anything seriously literary is wasted on an audio format, 80% of the subtext flies right over your head because you're doing dishes with some pleasing noise in your earbuds.

Audiobooks become a necessity when you actually have to read stuff for school For leisure you can read however you want but I gotta get through this stuff

great for light books or for re-reading dense books. flashman audiobooks are a blast. i don't own flashman in print and have hardly even seen it so. the librivox recording of the faerie queene was incomprehensible to me when i first tried it, while now that i've read in print i find it very easy to follow.

I listen to audiobooks while I do manual work I enjoy it a lot because I dont have much time and I feel sitting and reading is being lazy I dont think it counts as reading and I am embarrased and dont tell people I like audio books
