cut the crap Jack. there's no way you absorb even half as much of the book from listening to Ian McKellen ham it up while battling traffic on I95.

99% of audiobooks are shit, because they get, like, Oprah Winfrey to read Moby Dick.

but 1 in 100 is great and can be superior to reading the book.

Jeremy Irons' Lolita is really great.

there are a lot of people who are auditory-dominant and process information much easier via sensory audio. generally the higher the IQ, the more people prefer the written word, because when you are smart you can process written information very fast - much faster than listening to it

there are many stolen moments in a day when most people zone out as they run errands or commute. some people listen to podcasts or audiobooks. i use them to learn languages.

audiobooks are also great for road trips.

i think it is probably a good idea to have downtime and just chill with your own thoughts. modern people seem to always want to access info. not sure you are helping yourself by doing that.

Usually better to do an abridged audiobook. Get it done in one sitting, drive, workout, etc. And usually if they've gone through the trouble of abridging, they've also made an effort to make it listenable
