I like to use them when I'm at work or otherwise unable to sit down and read. Doing chores is a great time for audiobooks!

I listen to genre fiction and non-fiction. Mainly things I don't care to read, like Stephen King. King makes for good audiobooks because his slop is in the zeitgeist, but not worth my dedicated reading time. I can join the conversation without wasting my life on his hack writing.

Currently listening to Empire of the Summer Moon.

>inb4 "you didn't read anything."
>Yes, you're correct.

where do you get audiobooks? I'm specifically looking for spice and wolf, which is on spotify and audible, but I'm not certain I want to shell out that kind of money for not even books.

Everand. I even looked it up for you, and the Spice and Wolf audiobooks are on there. It's 10 bucks a month, but there are no extra costs. I was signed up when I had an audiobook phase.

>>25461419
and you can listen for a month for free

I mainly use Libby. If you have a library card, it's free. If they don't have what you're looking for, you can always just request that they buy it. Libraries want you to be happy and check out a ton of stuff so that they stay funded.

Otherwise, sail the high seas, my friend.

I do them when I can't sit down and read either (but rarely). When the reader is exceptional and I want to hear what my language sounds like at its best. Or I put it on the background while playing minecraft for a non-fiction book I don't care much about and just want to know the general overview. I can't be listening to them when I'm standing up and doing something because I constantly have to go back because I didn't pay attention.

This is a good point too. Some voice actors are so well spoken that it's such a pleasant experience hearing them read. It's almost more of a play than being read to sometimes.
Anything you've been listening to recently?

Yeaah but it's not in English so there's no point if you don't speak it : https://www.audible.de/pd/La-Divine-Comedie-LEnfer-Hoerbuch/B00TSEQHCO
I just read the book along because it doesn't sound as good in my head.
>>
>>25461477
I realized you probably can't access it if you don't live in Germany or have a German vpn. It's the French version of the Divine Comedy
>>
>>25461458
nta but the catch 22 audiobook by jim weiss is so good.
>>
>>25461481
I don't, but I can imagine it's a spectacular way to experience the Divine Comedy. I know a touch of French, but certainly not enough to engage with an audiobook of that level.
>>25461482
I'll check this out. Thank you, anon.
