This week's question:
Reading a book vs. Listening to an audio book
Oh, hands down, I would have to pick reading a book. I feel like I pay more attention to the story if I'm reading it myself and processing the information as I'm reading. Literally, I have the attention span of a squirrel so with an audio book, I'd probably tune out the actual words after a couple of paragraphs and it would just be background noise to me.
Also, I can get through a book faster because I read faster than most people talk.
What about you? Reading or listening? I'd love it if you could leave me a link or just answer in the comments below! :)
I agree with you--I absorb more if I'm actually reading and sometimes find myself distracted during audiobooks. I still listen to audiobooks when I'm running errands and working out, though, since it helps me get more read overall!
ReplyDeleteOh my, audiobook is not for me! I'm very picky about the voice in my book, so I tend to complain a lot when the voice is not like what I think the heroine would sound like LOL! x) Plus, I love the part that you said you have the attention span of a squirrel, Joie! *high fives* Really, I second that. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your answer, Joie! <3
