Depends on the book, some books I just can’t read but have no problem listening to it. And I use them for long car rides.

Just started to listen to audio books in the car. My commute has increased recently and it makes it feel that much shorter. I try and listen to non-fiction that I’m interested in or dramatisations of books I’ve already read. Just finished Good Omens and Samuel Pepy’s Diary! Enjoyed them both. ?

I prefer audio just for convenience purposes. If it’s a book I love I’ll end up buying the hard copy.

Depends on the book! Some are terrible as audiobooks, but others are brought to a whole new level by the narrator’s performance

Regular books #1, Audio books #2 I travel alot and sometimes they can really give you a flavor of a place you’ve never been when it is read by a person of that country. In English of course.

Love the written word, but audio has its place when I’m doing something like driving, cooking, gardening, or cleaning.
