Listening to people talk is older than reading words. Audiobooks are a return to tradition.
Fair point
I just don't like waiting 😂 My internal monologue has a great voice too.
Also a fair point.
Not that I begrudge anyone who enjoys audiobooks. I remember in school, when other people would have to read out loud, how slow of a pace I perceived them to have. I'm just lucky to be able to read quickly. Thanks Granny for teaching me to read early and practice often 🙏
I'd have loved to have your granny 🫂
I used to be a pretty deep reader, but I got in trouble in school for getting so engrossed in books that I lost track of my surroundings. I dunno why but after that I lost that skill and became a pretty terrible reader.
But there are some things which I have to read rather than listen to, like HP Lovecraft.
I think about the Shadow over innsmouth story often even though I read over two decades ago.
Yes. Granny was a gem. Taught in a one room school in the 30s & 40s. She lived in the same farm yard as me, and took me under her wing. Made me her student from a young age. I could read before I started school.
I remember my teachers being shocked because I was reading Stephen King in grade 5ish 😂 They called home, and my father informed them he gave me the book to read 😆
