That is why I wrote “it is not perfect”. I agree that reading is different. Not really for the reason you mentioned though. For me it is mostly, that reading is relaxing for me, audiobooks aren’t. But one takes what one can get. Maybe when the children are bigger I start reading again.
Different strokes for different folks. You do what you gotta do to enjoy life, and if you want to read or listen to audiobooks, I wish you all the best! My particular neuosis centers around definitions, and it’s insane, and I know it is. For me, the whole “I want to read more so I listen to audiobooks” statement just hits me like “I want to eat bacon so I eat lettuce”. Sure, they’re both crunchy, but it’s like… A totally different thing. If you want something crunchy (a metaphor for a good story or something), then say that, then the format doesn’t matter! This is a strange hangup to have haha I’m going to bed.
