There are some books that worked really well for me as audio books; that’s how I consumed the first two books of Patrick Rothfuss’ Kingkiller series.
I think the audio book’s forced pacing, and the delivery from the voice actor, really forced me to slow down and listen to a lot of things that I would normally have just barely skimmed. I’m maybe just a less avid reader than I used to be, because I know this wasn’t a big issue for me 20 years ago, but I’m far more likely to just stop reading a print book halfway through than I am with an audio book. The audio carries me though the bits that might have just halted me in print
