[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having someone read a book to you is a very positive experience, often soothing, relaxing, enlightening, entertaining and educational. That's part of why good parents read to their children, often well past the point where the child could read it themselves. As an adult why deny yourself this pleasure? It is especially enjoyable if the audio reader is good at it and I really like it when the reader is the author. Listening to books does not have to take the place of reading actual books and depending on the book it definitely falls into the category of "serious reading."[/quote] So much this. It is so enjoyable. My 9yo still wants me to read to her at night because I actually perform the book, like the professional actors who perform audiobooks. However you read, I don’t judge you or rank your seriousness. This isn’t a contest. Let’s all enjoy life when we can.[/quote]
