Because I'm not doing it the typical 'superior' way, the world thinks I should be ashamed.Īudiobooks are absolutely necessary, and should 'earn their place right next to books' just based on the fact that some folks can ONLY do audiobooks. It sure would be nice if people cut that out and just let me read the only way I can manage with my disabilities. I still got comments about how I wasn't really reading books if I listened to them. After the concussions I just needed something to pass time so I didn't go insane with boredom which is when I picked audiobooks up again. I actually stopped using audiobooks or reading at all for a while because of that toxic mindset. I always felt guilty about it because real readers read physical books was the prevailing opinion. There was just no downtime to sit and read. I used to read physical books a lot growing up but then life got busy so audiobooks were my only option, usually during my commute or whenever I did boring stuff like chores. Like you, if I had to read the pages I would take weeks to finish one chapter but I can listen to audiobooks instead without that issue. If I want to read at all, audiobooks are my only option. Trying to read a physical book now results in a crippling migraine. I got 3 back to back concussions last summer and my brain is a mess. The whole audiobook vs physical book thing strikes me as kind of ableist.
