What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

Yeah, that does nothing for my phone…stupid technology

That last titty pic of yours made my phone run WAY faster.

Do we enjoy audio books due to their convenience or because we crave having someone to read to us like when we were children?

I never thought of it that way. Now I realize why I crave sometimes wanting to listen.

I think this probably a good thing tbh

I can’t listen to Audi fiction and it might be because it feels so dispassionate and impersonal. I do love audio non-fiction though in part because I LOVED college lectures.

I love non-fiction and fiction BUT I cannot handle the way poetry is read. Poetry is supposed to be raw emotion slapped onto pages and they read it like it's a shopping list.

AI has enough going for it, I don’t want it ruled by boobies

Will I ever be enough?

I can only make myself listen to audiobooks if they have a ready great narrator, like Stephen Fry. I could listen the that man read the phone book, he is a delight!
In general, I prefer to read with my eyes, so I can reread certain parts if I zone out (fully awake) without actually processing the words I just read, or actually drift off to sleep. With audiobooks, I could fall asleep while it keeps playing for hours, and spend nearly that much time searching back for the spot where I left off.
That being said…if my honey wanted to read me a bedtime story, I would not say no! Bonus that he could see when I fell asleep and put a bookmark in it, whereas a recorded audiobook could not.

It never even occurred to me that there would be audio books of poetry…but it feels like it would be highly dependent
on the reader. Like I’d listen to Andrew Scott read anything

In the Have You Ever Masturbated... threads, do "yes" answers creep out, tittilate, or arouse the subjects/recipients?

Stephen Fry is amazing. His Mythology books are my audio-faves. I *think* I've also downloaded him narrating Sherlock Holmes, but have not yet listened.

Hrmm... that all makes perfect sense! I dozed off to a poetry reading before. And have no clue where to go back to.. And there's something soothing about having a loved one read out loud for you..

I listened to two separate authors read their own works. Their voices were lovely, but so utterly devoid of emotion that it killed my enjoyment for their works.

You are. They're wrong

 

[CuriousRick]

I am so ready to be off these antibiotics

Thank you

I’ve never listened to an audiobook and I feel like this is why. I’ve thought about putting one on while driving but think I’d still get too distracted and realize I missed a dozen paragraphs and have to rewind.

It depends, honestly. Most of the time, I'm just a shocked Pikachu.

I’m sorta clarifying things in my mind as I talk about this. But I think I dislike fiction not because it’s devoid of emotion but it’s because it’s devoid of “my” emotion? If I wanted a radio play I’d listen to a radio play. That’s not why I read fiction if that makes sense. The voices and emotion and emphasis “I” place on things is part of the joy. I don’t like ceding that work to anyone else?

Fair enough. You post beautiful photos, including many that arouse, but all are moving.

This too

I only say yes for the novelty factor. The few people I am comfortable saying yes to and receiving from are aware of it. I have yet to have any surprises so far...

 

[NakedStoryLover]

It's funny that there are threads where I am comfortable discussing my erection and others where it strikes me as unseemly.

This migraine will be the death of me.
