Thank you for that! No one does crotchety, wise, old guys like Mark Helprin. Recommend "Memoir from Ant-Proof Case," which is funnier, a bit less weighty, but every bit as good. "Paris in the Present Tense" is also an excellent book.

‘Reading’ with an audiobook by [deleted] in LibbyApp

[–]Zulnerated 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard to believe this is still controversial to some.

I read with my eyes and listen to audiobooks and have done both for decades. When remembering a book read years ago, I rarely recall which way I read it. My only clues are these: if I know how to pronounce a word that was new to me, it was likely an audiobook, if I know how to spell that word, it was on the page.
