You are right. I am a truck driver so I listen to audiobooks to pass time. But every now and then something comes up on the road and i then i press rewind couple times to listen that portion again. Thats why i only listen fantasy/scifi books now and i plan to actually read the philosophical texts from now on

I listen to audiobooks only. Stranger, east of eden and mans search for meaning(to some extent) went over my head. English isn’t my first language so maybe thats part of the problem for me, but i just stick to fantasy novels and enjoy my time, if i m too dumb to understand, there isn’t much i can do about it. Maybe i will try these again someday, see if it makes any difference
