What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

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.
He'd definitely need to have an accent for me. 🫣
 
Do we enjoy audio books due to their convenience or because we crave having someone to read to us like when we were children? 🤔
For me, it depends entirely on the reader. James Marsters does an amazing job on Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files, and I continued to listen to King's Under the Dome all the way to the end due to Raul Esparza's narration, long after I would have given up on the printed book. ( Not his best book ) But I have bailed on quite a few after just a short listen.

The best one is Max Brooks's World War Z. They got a massive cast of actors, like Alan Alda, Jürgen Prochnow, Carl Reiner, Mark Hamill, and about 20 others, with full soundscapes and the whole thing. It is everything the movie should have been.
