>counts it as "read" on goodreads, in conversation

if you a big brain enough nibba to do that (i do the same at work, therefore we're both smart), then you're 60% is a normal reader's 90-100%, so I wouldn't sweat it (and I don't!).

I don't care

doesn't work if the other person actually read it
you wont be able to keep up
also "half listening" doesn't mean you get the gist. its like saying you've got the gist by reading the wikipedia plot summary

Nah it's not. I get the points of every chapter and I just miss some details about anecdotes within the chapter. Occasionally my mind daydreams and drifts but I'm still half hearing it. That level of detail probably couldn't be clocked by a person I'm talking to about the book.

This is how everyone on 4chan does everything, then comes in and confidently declares their opinion, starts arguments etc.

You're only hurting yourself by making yourself a dumb retard so go ahead
Fake intelligence can impress some idiots. But fake wisdom won't since that's not a thing, and do you really want to impress idiots ?

Listening to audio books is not reading. You literally didn’t read the book.
