I only listen to audiobooks. Does this make me a brainlet?

They're on the level of listening to podcasts as far as I'm concerned, sure - depending on what you listen to - you can get a lot out of them, but you aren't ingesting the information in the same way.

Audiobooks are fine only if you've read the book before by yourself

Yes.
You need to read the books.

Yes. You're basically a child trying to recreate story-time. You should be embarrassed.

Audio books are fine but you need to read too

The only audio books I listen to are the Wayne June's Lovecrat narration while listening to the Bloodborne soundtrack

Yes, all blind people are inherently pseuds.

You're a brainlet shitty reader if you don't understand how. You can never read as deeply into a text by listening to someone read it as you can by actually reading it yourself. Are you mayhap a subvocalizing plebberino brainletino?

If the book in question is something like Pynchon where you might need to stop and reread a passage then yes. Otherwise I don't see any important difference

A vocal reading can be helpful for appreciating a text purely for its rhythm/melody but there's more than that to writing and listening or subvocalizing too much can interfere with fully appreciating a text past its musicality. Listening to a reading is nice but a book is meant to be read, I only listen to audiobooks of things I'm already familiar with
