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.

Only if it's a 6x LP set on vinyl.

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.

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

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

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

No popes were offended in the making of this amalgamation.

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.
