I've compared english translations of russian works with those in my native language (swedish), and found the latter far more lively. I'm biased, of course, but we do have a *stellar* tradition of translation. Were the anglophones just unlucky?

That was a really excellent book. Introduced me to the idea that laws of moral behavior must exist as much as laws of physics. Of course it must be true, I thought when reading it. There always axioms of interaction which are the basis of any successful system. In the case of the moral axioms, societies which adhere to them survive and flourish, and those that don't are necessarily destroyed - like a universe missing gravity or some such analogy.

For simpler books, such as light short motivation books, I think audio isn't so bad.

For everything else, in my opinion, the language used in writing is a lot different from the spoken language. I think that's why it's a lot harder to absorb literary techniques, because you're not looking and processing it yourself.

Although, people who use audiobooks, tend to get a lot of books finished that way. I'd like to hear from one of them how much they retain.

>I want to get in to reading more but I'm a slow reader and get distracted really easily

Books come in various difficulties, and reading comprehension is like a muscle, you only get better the more you do it.

My advice is to ignore any tips that have to do with reading quicker or anything to do with speed reading. Read slowly at the rate you understand things. You will get better. Take your time, because haste only makes waste. There's nothing worse than plowing through a book and barely understanding half the content.

It's better for non-fiction -- history podcasts, news/politics. If it's topical to what you're playing, it might enhance your appreciation of a fiction audiobook and even recall. Never listened to audiobooks myself until finding a narrator whose performances I enjoyed specifically. It's a meme, but it's down to you to make it viable.

I did it when painting houses about ten yrs ago and among other books listened to Dharma Bumbs and Neuromancer; Blue Highways and Moon's follow up about boating the inland waterways-- in other words I purposely chose books I wouldn't otherwise read. Did discover McCarthy in this way and have actually read all his other books but one since (Orchard Keeper). Can't denigrate the practice though it's typically not my own.

Sir.

The next morning, I awoke at about 9am. I had booked the week off, just to spend with the slut I now have tied over the chair. Her dream is to be treated like a toy, nothing more than a piece of meat to be used, abused, tortured and degraded just for my pleasure and amusement. She wanted no limits, and got it. I had tied her, bent over a chair, wrists and ankles tied to the legs, a spreader bar between her knees, ass in the air, and left her there all night, gagged. I look over at her, and it's obvious she had a rough night. I got up, and spanked her ass, hard, as I walked past to have a shower. When I got back, I sank three fingers into her pussy, making her try and thrust against them. I let her for a few minutes, then pulled them out, making her squirm and moan.

I untied her, made her kneel in front of me, and removed the spreader bar and gag. I told her to get into the bath tub, then pissed all over her. She then dried herself off, washed her hands, and went to make my breakfast of weetabix followed by bacon and eggs. She brought it to the living room, and knelt down to be used as my footrest. After I had finished, I allowed her to lick the bowl and plate clean, wash up, and get two dog bowls from the cupboard. In one, she put dog food, and I filled the other with leftover bacon and eggs. She ate the food, using just her mouth, which looked awkward, and then took the dog food down to the cellar where I have a slave tied to the floor. I have her collared, with a chain padlocked onto it. The other end of the chain is padlocked to a ring, bolted to the floor. The chain is about a metre long, just short enough to stop it standing up. Its hands are cuffed behind its back, but otherwise it is totally free. This one wanted a really extreme, no limits, no rights, way of life, one totally controlled by me. That one has been chained in my cellar for five years, never come, never been let out, never dressed, and hasn't been spoken to in four and a half years. Literally just kept there and used whenever I want to torture or fuck. I even branded it with 'SLUT' over its' tits, and tattooed 'fuck this' over its' mouth. I feed it dog food and my shit, make it drink my piss, and once a week allow it a real meal. the cellar is specially modified with a drain, and each day I spray the bitch with a hosepipe to clean it! I'm kind of hoping that this new one wants a similar life!
