what are your thoughts on audiobooks?
my friend say she was reading george orwell 1984 when she was actually listening to the audiobook.... does that still count as reading?

do audiobooks provide the same mental stimulation and intellectual benefits?
what are your thoughts :)

eyes-ears-mind

ears-mind

One is more engaging and takes more focus. But audiobooks don't detract from the story being told, and I'd say theres an intellectual difference between reading and listening, although listening can free the mind to focus on the story.

Audiobooks should not be a replacement for reading, but they both give different benefits.

btw op is cute

i like librivox

audiobooks are good for mostly plot-driven stuff, but i wouldn't read any post-modern stuff or anything
if you have to read stuff several times over a lot it can be frustrating

if your'e paying attention the full way through as you would reading a book traditionally, i see no real difference.
although your getting the narrators interpretation of voices, moods, and general feel of characters rather then getting your own.

I have little time to read,but hours of work time to listen,so audiobooks are my lit-fix. A good reader makes a book come alive, and some have full cast productions like the Redwall series. And sometimes a difficult text is rendered enjoyable by an audio version. Le Morte de Arthur comes to mind:I bought the book because I enjoyed Derrick Jacobi reading the abridged version, but it wound up being literal walls of words with no punctuation to define sentences.

I still like physical books,but the 21st century won't give me the time to savour it. Not without falling asleep a half hour into one.

In my adulthood I've never been able to get through a single book without playing videogames while listening to them.
