I used to love to read

I find it difficult to find the time to do so these days. I discovered audio books about a year ago and now I'm flying through books. What are peoples opinions on audio books is it as beneficial as actual reading.

Personally it has allowed me to enjoy books again although I feel guilty that I'm not experiencing them in the intended format.

I frequently use audiobooks in the car. Just started [i]The Man In The Iron Mask [/i]by Alexander Dumas. I often find that the old classics have sizable sections, such as the discussion in [i]Hunchback of Notre Dame [/i]about architecture as literature, that have NOTHING to do with the story. I would probably get bogged down in them if I was actually reading them but can handle them in an audiobook.

@MasterDvdC that's where I have done most of my listening in the car but as I'm working from home now my rate at going through books has slowed. I did listen to Kevin Harts book a kind of self help book and that I struggled with. Loved him on a podcast for his book. Fiction I do enjoy. I tend to listen when I walk the dog these days.
