#Reading
Apparently, in the wider bookish community, there is this idea that listening to audiobooks doesn't count as reading. This idea is ableist af.
I mean, what about blind people?
And besides, what about people who can focus better and longer when listening (audio), instead of reading (visual)?
What about people who can better focus on listening to stories while doing something, for instance going for a walk, doing sports, crocheting, knitting, or arts and crafts?
I would like to introduce you to my friend, and previous colleague from IBM, Erich Manser who is a competitive blind runner. Over the years I enjoyed hearing about his adventures, and when it comes to sports, I got much inspiration from him.Tom (Even Grounds)

in reply to Dennis • • •I know that technically speaking listening is not reading. But that's not the point I was trying to make. My point was the consumption of books in general, no matter with which method this consumption happens. I mean, in the end, you know a story, and it doesn't matter that much imho if you have listened to it or if you have read it.
