I didn’t always offer full-throated endorsements of audiobooks in my literature courses. Maybe that’s because I’m not really an audiobook person. Call me old-fashioned, but I’ve always preferred to engage in real reading than outsource the job to some random celebrity voice actor.

Discounting the value of audiobooks is also incredibly ableist. I love reading, but I also have ADD and have a hard time staying focused, and I find myself skipping long paragraphs and missing important details. I never miss those details in audiobooks, in fact, I remember those details a lot better because I associate the content with the other thing I’m doing at the time.
