[quote=Anonymous]I have been listening to audiobooks for at least 10 years now. I listen to probably five audiobooks for every one book I read with my eyes. I find that I retain better by listening to audio. When I read with my eyes, after about 20 minutes, my mind wanders to all the chores I could / should be doing instead of reading so then I set the book down and go do some chores for 30 minutes or a few hours. Then when I come back to the book I don't remember what was going on so I have to re-skim for a bit. Then after reading again for 20 minutes my mind again wanders to chores I need to do so I set the book down again. Repeat repeat repeat. Pretty soon I resent the book because it is preventing me from getting anything accomplished with my day. I suppose most of my resentment is from knowing that now I have a choice with most books as to whether to sit on my butt all day while reading or get things done while listening to the book via audio.
