How about audiobooks?

Had I had the option to listen to audiobooks while I was in school, I would’ve been a much better student. I never read any of the assigned reading when I was in school because I couldn’t keep my focus on the words, but I’m finding myself cruising through about one very long book per month. Most of the books had been non-fiction (social science and history mostly), but more recently I’ve been getting into novels. They’re just so easy to listen to at the gym, or while driving, or while playing video games.

For all of you who have kids, please encourage them to listen to audiobooks if they don’t like reading paper books. That is, unless you think it’s a valuable skill to know how to bullshit their way through a paper on a book they haven’t read…

A lot of my reading is audiobooks. I love audiobooks - they enabled my reading levels to go way up in the last few years. Some more details about this here: https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2020/my-reading-habits/

By definition, you're not reading. It's called "listening", as in "I listen to a lot of audiobooks".

Audiobooks are my saving grace when it comes to my daily commute and doing boring chores at home.

Agreed on the commute. I find that, having stopped commuting, I cannot follow an audiobook any more.
