Trying Out Audiobooks For The 1st Time

It just doesn't hit the same as Reading does. Maybe it's the narrator. But I don't know man. I feel like reading is better

Same here dude. The narrator may be quicker than my reading speed but it doesn’t feel as enjoyable and I end up getting bored.

100 percent agree

I’ve also tried kindle and nothing replaces a solid physical book IMO

I tend to zone out when listening to audio of a book compared to reading

The godfather audio book is real good. Has voice actor do the different parts. Feels like you're listening to a movie, chit made me legit excited to go to bed at night so I could listen lol.
A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."

The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

Lately I mainly use audiobooks because of my aging eye problems, hehe.

I could listen to audiobooks while I jog waterfront enjoying a beautiful scenery.

It's the healthiest way to enjoy books.

Maybe ask your boyfriend to read you a book before bed? I'm sure he wouldn't mind after bottoming you out.

It's not as relaxing as sitting and reading or something, but they definitely have a place.

I could listen to music / news on my 30 minute drive to and from work, or I could finish a book every few weeks. Same thing with working out (mostly cardio because gotta listen to music for lifting) and stuff like that. There's a ton of benefits to actually reading, but audiobooks are a nice way to gain knowledge from books when you otherwise wouldn't have been able to.
