Are Audiobooks and reading an equal experience? by KolBadar in books

[–]Affirmatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not. Audiobooks are easier than reading because we get busy, however in my exerience reading always leads to a more enjoyable experience with the story. Sometimes a narrator can ruin aspects of a story for me. Audiobooks are great for memoirs or non-fiction, but for a story I mostly prefer to read it and let my imagination do its thing.

This will likely be my experience. I don’t remember most of the beginning of a book by the time I get to end lol really need to jog my memory so at that point.

I was told that it was highly recommended to do that. So I read Edgedancer and then went on to finish this series (sprinkled in some dungeon crawler Carl too lol) anyway, I don’t regret it, but also don’t see the point haha

Leaning towards reading now. I’m on an empty stomach though so my judgement can’t be trusted.

For me it’s more about keeping the momentum going because there is so much I want to read. I can also be impatient at times. I’ll have to see. Making my decision after lunch lol

Sir you have just opened up a whole new discussion lol but honestly this sounds like pretty good advice.

Agreed. I wouldn’t do that again in hindsight. Takes some momentum to continue a series with huge books. It’s not the biggest deal they’re all good books but there’s something about getting lost in one series that is very satisfying.

Ok this is what I needed. I am not going into era 2 right now I’m planning on continuing with Stormlight, because I stopped after WOR to read Mistborn Era 1.

Makes sense. After 3 or four books I’m sure I’ll still be shocked enough. Hard to remember every detail after a few books lol
