I wanted to do a reread, and settled on the audiobook. If you don’t already know the stories, the audiobook is completely incomprehensible. The language is intentionally obtuse and the names all sound alike and you can’t even browse back a bit or check the massive lists at the back.
Honestly yes. You kinda got to let it go and stop worrying about the specifics. All the places and people blend together. I was listening to it driving and Serkis’s delivery is just beautiful, but I still had to turn it off because I was zoning out
I honestly seek out audiobooks to fall asleep to. I will have portions of songs on repeat in my head otherwise and it used to take me an hour to fall asleep. Now I can tell how long it took me to fall asleep because of how far in the book I need to rewind before I can remember something happening. Lately it’s been tough to get through a book because I keep falling asleep within 5 minutes.
For long drives it’s definitely necessary to have a book you can really get into. I loved the Stormlight Archives done by GraphicAudio because there was music and background noises and each character had a unique actor (or at least an actor playing with different accents). Helped a couple of 11 hours drives pass by.
