Chen Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 totes! QOTD 1150 - Do you like audiobooks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euklyd Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 If there's a book I want to read, I will generally just read the text. I have never sought out an audiobook over a printed / digital text. That being said, I greatly enjoy audiobooks for the purposes of experiencing stories with other people, e.g., on a long car ride or on a vacation.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) They're the perfect replacement for written books since I don't read. Listen to them quite a lot. Edited February 21, 2017 by Magillanica Lou Mayvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) I actually don't think I have the concentration for that! (Unlike last qotd apparently) I think when I hear words read out to me, I can't get myself to focus on the sound of the words and the meaning of the words at the same time (or at least not for a huge string of words). I often absolutely lose track of what somebody's saying to me if they speak for a really long time, especially if they're using ~big~ and ~fancy~ words at me that would take even more of my concentration ^o^ I have to focus really hard if I want to comprehend it all and my focus typically can't last very long. oh, also I still have issues if I try to hear the words AND read the words at once Edited February 21, 2017 by Freohr Datia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
