Thanks to audiobooks, reading's popularity still strong in America

I love audiobooks. I color comic books for a living, something that seemingly occupies only part of my brain and leaves me free to absorb stories in audio format. I think I may have a bit of ADD or something and anyway I work so much, reading is not something I have a lot of time for. Thanks to audiobooks I get through dozens of books a year. Something I was barely doing before.

Another great thing about modern audiobooks is that many are read by the author… think about that… it’s an amazing layer of intent we didn’t have before. Like the difference between reading sheet music and hearing the songwriter sing it themselves.
