The only exception I'm making is for Solaris since all translations for it currently in print suck.
Also Blood Meridian, only after you've read the book, because the voice the narrator uses for the judge fucking rocks.

i would listen to poetry if i had a phone where i could download them, but alas i will rather sacrifice audiobooks over the glowies watching me

I hate my voice, and when I try to read in a different voice I get distracted. I’d much prefer to hear an older english man read to me.

>not listening a storyteller tell tales
A bad storyteller is still way worse than reading yourself, I'll give you that. But I have learned some works of literature are meant to be heard, and not read - especially in fiction. Post comfy listens you know.

Unironically. We have only a limited time on earth, and this is the best way to parse everything worthy of knowing. Of course with the topics you find more interesting, you can and should read the original texts.

What you don't read out loud? Do you just hear the words in your head or something that sounds kind of scary and concerning.

I'm unapologetically listening to Edward Gibbons as I do house chores, such as washing my dishes and cleaning my toilet.
From time to time I take notes to research what is he talking about.
It's being fun.
