[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a literature professor. And not on social media enough to realize that people DON'T consider audiobooks reading. What??? I had no idea this was a thing. Both counting books and debating what counts are new topics to me. Just throwing in my question: why on earth does anyone find listening inferior?! As an academic, I find listening to be as much of a lost (or disappearing) skill as reading! One that needs to be actively worked on and nourished. [b]I listen to a lot of audiobooks on walks and long drives, but if I am tasked with something dense or challenging, I always pick up a paper copy. It is much easier for me to focus on something complex in print.[/b] Am I the only one? [/quote] I'm with you and especially with bolded. It's easier to go back a couple of pages and reread to confirm something, checking exact wording etc. rather than rewinding the audio version.[/quote]
