Why I Listen to Audiobooks

I don’t watch TV, movies, videos, or scroll social media. Audiobooks are how I get my mental stimulation while I drive, wash, run, or do any repetitive task. They turn otherwise empty hours into something meaningful.

What I Read

I almost never follow a strict plan. Over the past few years I’ve wandered through classics, philosophy, history, psychology, fantasy, religion, and anything that sparks curiosity in the moment. My favorite genres are simply the ones with the most entries.

The Numbers

Since February 9, 2023, I’ve listened to 378 audiobooks and logged 2,427 hours of listening, weaving books into otherwise ordinary parts of everyday life.
