By reading theory (well, listening to audiobooks) I have developed the ability to bore my relatives to death as a defense mechanism. No one wants to talk about anything annoying anymore because I'm more annoying than they could ever hope to be! ๐
Audiobooks are reading!
If you sit down and focus on the audiobook, yeah, that's reading.
I listen to them while I work, which means I'm paying somewhere around 90% attention. I get most of it, but I won't deny I sometimes have to focus on something at work and then miss several sentences or paragraphs of the book. That's barely reading lol
I like listening to audiobooks while traveling and walking to places, sometimes cooking and doing chores. It's cool, because you can really focus on the content and still do something that doesn't require much focus.
Don't get me wrong, this is basically the only way I can even read books. Doing only one thing actually gives me anxiety because I have productivity brain poisoning lol
