Currently I'm going through works written in English (not my native language) and I find it enjoyable to read from the physical book while simultaneously listening to the audiobook. To be clear, I don't listen to audiobooks only and most of the time I only read, but I found this method of reading while listening to be really pleasant sometimes. So far I did it with James Joyce, Shakespeare, Thomas Mann (in German) and a few other classics.
Opinions? Anyone else do this?

Sounds like a good plan. Just transition eventually.

Seems like a waste of time and energy. You are conditioned to read at the same pace as the guy narrating the audiobook and focusing at both reading and listening takes up more focus.

Ironically no. I can actually focus better. Keep in mind that I only do this with any other language besides my native one.

Also I am aware that this is more of a language learning method. For example, I would hate to listen to an audiobook in my native tongue as I am reading the script for I would find it drudgerous.
