Yes.  Anyone listening to these strange things? :-|

Eh, I don't dislike audio books if it has good voice actors.  The Redwall ones for instance have Brian himself as the narrator, so those are pretty awesome.  Plus, audio books are convenient for folks that don't have a ton of free time; I, in particular, like to listen to them (or podcasts) while I'm driving.

Of course, if I have the time, I definitely prefer reading a book over listening to it.

Grand slam, boy!  I'm currently slow-walking my way through a Lucasfilm stamped Revan audio book, hey? :3

These are basically my thoughts on the subject as well, tbh. They've helped get my one brother into books though, so I'm thankful.

Started listening to them a while back, because it was getting difficult to read.

Didn't realize it was my vision! XD


Got glasses like, one or two weeks ago, so now I'm reading and listening.

Two different books of course!

It took a while for me to get into them without falling asleep, but now I have *pauses to check phone library* 91 audiobooks!

I started listening to them in undergrad while I was walking across campus, or working out, or whenever I was doing something monotonous. It really helped me feel like I was being productive - reading everything I've always wanted to but never had time to - without really setting aside time for it. I remember one month I absolutely crushed one book that was 52 hours long (Atlas Shrugged). I love 'em!

Yeah, it's ok. :D  Though, if you were to take a look or listen, you may be confused on account of how the book is connected good and hard to the seasoned video game Kotor. :3

I listen to the Warriors audio books daily. When I was younger I listened to Roald Dahl audio books, but I could still probably listen to those seeing as they are such good books.
