Reply to audiobooks by eutychiia
I use audiobooks sometimes. They have a time and a place, especially once I get tired of my workout playlists. Long drives are another great place for them.
But my retention is much worse, so I'm mostly listening to stories with simple sentence structure, simple arcs, and high quality narrators.
Anything I really wanna enjoy and savor I read though.
I feel like there's a crowd that listens to audiobooks as basically background noise (which affects their retention and ability to actually enjoy the text) that seem to be very obsessed with how many books they read in X amount of time. I don't enjoy that part of the bookish subreddits, otherwise it's just a different medium to experience books in.

Idk I think the cultural context, what the people were wearing, what they were dancing to, what they were gossiping about, what certain things were like is akin to a time machine, and I loved reading them.
