Gonna start reading this one next:



I'm taking a long break from the Sontag essay collection I was reading last. A bit too much dry intellectual nitpicking for my tastes.
I'm hoping her diaries are going to be a bit more lively.

You don't read audiobooks, genius.

Idk, ask all the people who count audiobooks as books they read during the month or year. Apparently it's quite the debate.

I wonder if I can read movie adaptations.

Sounds like stuck up book nerds don't like the concept of being told they're not reading.

Audiobooks take forever and you miss at least 25% nodding off or daydreaming. Podcasts FTW

Hey I was just thinking

Who’s read Tuck Everlasting?

That’s a great ****ing book

Dude, they are convenient as fuck, as long as the person doing the voice work doesn't sound like a douche.

If you already read books just stick with that, but if you don't read much, then definitely **** with some audiobooks. I got my dad to get into reading a couple of years ago by first introducing him to audiobooks then suggesting that he read along to them. Now he reads books by himself like a big boy.
