I can’t do them
I zone out and miss entire chapters pretty much any time I try. I also find pacing much too slow and most narrators just aren’t pleasant to listen to imo.
Know plenty of people who love them though, and as long as it increases literary reach then they’re only a good thing.
Same here. It's just insanely slow compared to reading, so I just can't cope with them. They're popular though and now that they're available on so many supports, they're at least helping books stay alive, so that's good.
