Audiobooks don't count as reading because nothing counts as reading because no one is counting

Comments

What do you mean? I read 17 books per day and today I’ve only read 15. But it’s 11:58, I still have time if I read a very short book while I hear an audiobook at 32x

Goodreads is counting. Also Apple Books. If Steve Jobs is counting beyond the grave, then someone is.

In the words of @brentterhune.bsky.social (at least paraphrased), there too many people several books short of a pizza.

Audiobooks count as math

That made my brain hurt. I'm counting.

My kindle is counting...and maybe judging me.

my Libby app is counting, and even gives me a scrollable timeline of totals... but it counts the ones I didn't finish too

Sitting and listening to a story being told predates the written word by eons.

Audio books are more old-school than print.

I needed to hear this. I was having trouble reading Cloud Atlas so I switched to the audio book and I’m doing much better now. But I was also having ridiculous doubts about whether I’ve been actually “reading” it.
