Hi, i've been wondering lately if i should give audio books a try. Lately life has become busy, and i don't have as much free time, and usually i'm too tired at night to do the hour or two of reading like i used to. Should i give audiobooks and perhaps some funny/cool va a try? Is it worth it, or do you not get the same impression from a book / should read instead.
anyone? Seems like people here don't like no earpeople

If you can read, you should read. I would never just sit in a chair and listen to an audiobook. However if you're doing something that requires minimal thinking but keeps your hands busy like manual labor or chores audiobooks are great.
Keep in mind though that just because you can do something while listening to music doesn't mean you're able to concentrate on an audio book. I for one hate the feeling of having missed anything and have to constantly rewind if I'm doing something that requires too much attention. But for something like raking leaves or carrying shit audiobooks are a godsend.

Yes, that's exactly what i was thinking. I thought of listening to an audiobook while doing laundry and some other menial tasks.

Well it's like your parents reading to you when you were a kid, except instead of your parents it's a professional voice actor doing the reading. The books are identical to the printed originals. What's not to love?

agreed. I audiobook on my way to/from commute. I can pay complete attention to the audiobook short of walking into the middle of a road/train line (20 min walk and 20 min on train). Outside of that I read print books, and some books just aren't suited to audio.
