Are audiobooks cheating?

They won't get into patricianhood heaven, if that's what you mean.

I didn't think so, but when I told my bookshelf that it fucking divorced me.

You won't comprehend anything more complex than Hunger Games so whatever, enjoy wasting your time on trash.

The only way to cheat anything is to pull a Tai Lopez
Audiobooks are fine

There is an absolute patrician audio book of beyond good and evil around, that stuff was meant to be read aloud.

This man makes audiobooks an art. Its not cheating in this case.

I've turned to Audiobooks in the midst of college. I already read enough textbooks that it takes the joy out of sitting down and reading a book for fun. Audiobooks let me "read" while in bed prepping to go to sleep or on a drive.

Once I'm done with college, I will go back to the paper gods.

Anything by Scott Brick is also a good listen

Audiobooks aren't cheating, but you're basically doing your reading through a middleman and losing something in the process

nah. the important thing is grasping the content.

but i think that if you need to ask that question, the only way for you to grasp it is by reading it.

No, because it's not a race.

AudioBOOKS like Lord of the Rings are terrible and you are vheating yourself. Audioshort novels written in first person CAN BE great. I love Lovecrafts and Poe's audiobooks. They can be very immersive and I dare to say, it's actually better to listen to them than to read them. I did both and the audioversion allows you the same imagination but adds to it great voice and subtle music and detail sounds (like footsteps crunching the snow, rain, wind, might sounds).
Not all are that great but some can be truly magnificent.

I can't, for the love of my life, pay attention to what the other guy says. Even if its a short story with an easy prose. I can't understand why.
I read about 800 pages a month with no problem, but audiobooks seem so fucking slow that I lose interest and then I find I have no clue what it happening in the story.

Where would one look for a decent selection of free audiobooks?
