I've gotten through almost all of the Dark Tower, books 11-13? Of WoT, stormlight archive book 1, all of Foundation?, All of Asoiaf, On audiobooks. I'd recommend them all as they each have great orators with unique voices for characters.
I used to work lawn care and it was perfect to basically read for 9 hours every day while getting paid.
These days it's way more desk work and unless I'm doing specific tasks which are rote, it's harder to do.
They have their place, but you'll read way faster than you'll listen.
Most books are in the 36-48 hours of listening range. Meanwhile I could bang out a book regular in about 24 pending distractions. I used to read a lot faster but found I was brimming a lot of content.
Is there a version of Foundation on audiobook that isn't from forever ago with a guy that sounds like he is a 1950s radio host?
Not that I've found, that's the version I listened to.
