I have recently been getting back into audiobooks and was discussing them with a friend when this question came up. Obviously picture/comic books, manga and the like would not work in the format, but what other kind of books would not work in an audio format?
I was thinking House of Leaves for the obvious reasons, but is there a book you can think of that narratively or otherwise would not be well translated to audiobook?
OR a book that would need to be read in a certain way in order for an audio format to work?
I’ve never read it, only listened to the audiobook and I wasn’t conscious of missing out.
Now that you mention it I do remember rewinding a few times though.
That’s a general problem with audibooks for me. Sometimes my mind wanders and I realise I’ve missed 30 seconds of the book. It’s irritating having to rewind.
