A pretty vague question I know, but I'm not looking for any specific answer. I'm just curious what peoples thoughts are on audiobooks. Perhaps how you think they compare to paper books or how listening compares to reading. Any thoughts you have on the subject is welcome.

I love them in theory but every time I've tried it out it hasn't gone right, like the narrator's voice just wasn't doing it for me. It's a shame because I think I'd get a lot more reading done otherwise.

If you want to try one again consider Children of Hurin. Narrated by Sir Christopher Lee. It's like getting a history lesson by Saruman.
