my fiance listens to audiobooks because they're an auditory learner. they really can't process words on paper, so the audiobook does more for them than a paperback would. if we got into technical terms, i think i do have a problem if they're saying "i read a book" but just listened to it as background. If someone is listening and grasping it well, they're reading it, in my eyes.
reading to me is more than interpreting words on a paper, it's actually getting something from it. and whatever method you use to achieve that, i approve of :)

I kinda agree to a certain extent. I feel like if you've been on a reading slump and are trying to get back into books, then audiobooks can be a great start. HOWEVER...some people listen to audiobooks without taking the time to actually digest the text, which makes their understanding of the book's ideas shallow.

It makes it feel more like a movie when I can also hear the narrator. Plus, I'm a bit lazy and audiobooks allow me to put down the book and still hear the story.

sadie is 2 1/2 and too attached to humans for her own good. she would not survive in a zombie apocolypse. she knows to knock lego sets over to get attention from my fiance. she will yell when you go to the bathroom. she loves paper bags and cardboard boxes. her middle name is louise. she doesn't understand the difference between a charger and a string. she steals pastries.
i am a big fan of Sadie.
