My wife and I listen to books together. We have tried, and failed, several times to buy two books and read them together. One inevitably gets ahead and has to wait for the other which ends up killing the whole experience. We haven’t bought a book in years now but have spent a large amount of time, close to if not in excess of our television time, listening to audiobooks together.

I use to have a big library of fantasy and sci do books that I was really proud of and was the primary one dragging my feet about trying audiobooks because I thought they would be an inferior product. I was wrong and I love them more than reading now. My only gripe is the classic space skip in a chapter usually delineated by like 3 stars are pretty jarring in audiobook format with the author just moving on to the next section without mentioning it.
