I have only heard like 2-3 audiobooks in my life, but yeah, sure. Let's remember before books were actually written or a thing, literature already existed in oral form. The epic poems were told from mouth to mouth until finally jotted down somewhere.

If a pope shits in the forest does it have a funny sound?

No popes were offended in the making of this amalgamation.

If you hear an album, does it count as part of your collection?

And that's just the New Testament! Also they're at 16 2/3 RPM which is interesting. So 16 2/3 on 7" is probably fairly similar to 33 1/3 on 12". Not 100% sure on that though, it's Sunday and a random-ass guess is enough math for me for today lol

I think most books would be way more than 6x... I believe I've read that the bible takes about 24 hours on audiobook, which would be around 35 LPs at 33 1/3 rpm. I'd be willing to bet that that exists.

Listening to an audiobook counts as reading a book on Goodreads. When you look back at the books you've read during a particular year, audiobooks you've listened to count.

I can't audio book.

So therefore, for me, no.

For me words have so much meaning, so it needs my fully undivided attention. I've listened to spoken word and usually have to turn off the lights to really get there.

But a book, my mind can get lost in that so much better.

P.S. Seriously though, what you speak of here is a field that Bronson is no stranger to, I love him SO much!!! 😄 😄 :)

I read this as 'Bronson Pinochet' and thought it was the greatest name of all-time.

I (not a big reader) have this argument with my wife (a big reader) constantly. Recently I got her hooked on an audiobook of a book from our younger days, though, so I think I'm about to gain the upper hand!

Have you *literally* read the book? No. But you've absorbed the exact content of the book in some way. Shouldn't that ultimately be what counts?

I'm only asking because I'm considering listening to The Loathesome Lambton Worm, the unofficial sequel to The Wicker Man.

SPOILER: Apparently, in the novel, Howie's survival is hinted. On a personal note this pleases me because I usually can't watch cult-oriented films where the villains win. I hate those kinds of endings, likely due to a personal discomfort stemming from my own Christianity. But since there have been a few occasions whre it's been hinted at his survival, (and it could be made official someday), I'm more motivated to watch the movie.
