MUSING MONDAYS… is a weekly event where MizB at Should be Reading will ask a book/reading-related question, and you answer with your own thoughts on the topic.
This week’s musing asks…
Do you listen to audio books? Why, or why not?
I have to honestly say that I CANNOT listen to audio books. I've tried, believe me I've tried. I see people on goodreads finish books so quickly because they are reading audio books, and so I was like OK let me try one out. I put it on my ipod and tried to listen to it, first it was British accents (duh British author) but I just could NOT get into it. It was not enjoyable at all. I couldn't understand half the time and I felt like I was in kindergarten getting read to. Nope definitely not for me. I'll read to myself in my mind thank you!
What about you?
i have been able to enjoy audiobooks in the past -- but the story has to be REALLY good.

I feel the same way. :) Although I haven't actually tried an audiobook before I feel like the voice of the narrator would be too distracting.
ReplyDeleteI just can't do it either. It feels too much like some sort of attempt at forced hypnosis to me. The few times I've tried have been unsuccessful for a variety of reasons.
