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.
I love them, they’re great for listening to while going for walks, while cleaning, or just doing things that don’t take alot of mental effort. I think audiobooks get kind of shit on for being “lazy”, but if anything, they’re a “purer” form of storytelling than books themselves. Oral storytelling is probably one of the oldest art forms out there, and audiobooks are a sort of modern adaptation of this.
