I’m going to start listening to Audio ebooks at home. I can borrow them from the library and play them on my tablet. I’ve just reserved History of the British Isles.
Do you listen to audio books?

I used to. I don’t have the concentration to read a book but can listen to audio books.
I had a subscription to audible for a while.
I think they’re great.

What’s got me started was listening to a true story on the radio last night.

If I have trouble focusing on a book, I’ll get the audio if it’s free and listen to it in my car while I’m driving places.

Remember a radio play where are coming gigantic crabs out the ocean and fisherman fight against them.
I like it more to read real books, so I have a better imagination.

Audiobooks are great! My daughter and I listen to the Harry Potter audio books narrated by Jim Dale while driving in the car. They are free to borrow on my library’s Hoopla app.

Actual I have a question. Do you think extreme isolation and viewing only cartoons would effect your way of understanding people’s minds? I feel like tv shows help create schemas in our minds.
Like for example…I usually only watch cartoons that don’t use a lot of really mean jokes and depend on insulting and stuff like that.i don’t watch people on tv. I also only read books by people I think are wise and most of them have an entirely different perspective than people on the street. I feel like even though I don’t measure up I sometimes see people through the lense of the stuff I consume and it sets me up to see people in a distorted way. Idk…
I listen to audio books on spotify…they have thousands of books…mostly biographies or auto biographies. love it.

Yes. I find I do t have the motivation to read sometimes so I listen to audiobooks instead. Rn I’m listening to Network Effect by Martha Wells. Of you like Sci-fi then you’ll love this series. It’s Called the Murderbot series.

No. I read a paragraph at a time, often faster if I am in a hurry. I see no good reason to lower my input speed to someone else’s output speed.

I’ve gotten through one audiobook. It was during the pandemic. It took a long time.
