Have you book highlighters considered the simple alternative of having an eidetic memory?

Civilized Fishbot posted:The fact that there's a long history of doing it doesn't mean it's equivalent to reading. Stupid take, is reading braille not reading? Or how about screen readers for posts? Different people read differently, and although my brain just does not gel with audiobooks, that doesn't mean my friends who do exclusively are illiterate. Touch grass

It's only actually reading if the book was penned by monk scribes in a monastery scriptorium.

Different people read differently, and although my brain just does not gel with audiobooks, that doesn't mean my friends who do exclusively are illiterate. Touch grass Having something read to you is a big difference from reading it yourself. The reader is the one who chooses when to move from one word to the next word. Obviously this is the case with braille just like with 2D letters. I've never used a screen reader and don't know what that's like. Your friends who exclusively have books read to them but don't read books themselves: it's obviously compatible with illiteracy - that's how life works for most children in a certain age range, they have books read to them but can't read themselves, because they're still developing literacy. I would guess that these friends are all fully literate and just don't read books (normal) and like audiobooks (normal). The're different mediums of communicating art or information. Engaging with them is very different - seeing and hearing work differently. Reading a transcript of human speech isn't hearing it, because the 2D (or 3D) text can't capture nearly all the nuance of pace, volume, and tone. It's not a value judgement between mediums, just appreciating how different they are Libertarianism is a 1-way road to Fahrenheit 451 Civilized Fishbot has issued a correction as of 07:08 on Dec 11, 2023 |

I once burned a book out of this principle, an abridged copy of Tom Sawyer. It's already short and easy to read! gently caress you readers digest.

I’d rather proscribe literature in favor of an oral tradition than agree with this

Audiobooks count. Don't really work for all genres tho, obviously. Simple as that.

audiobooks count, but for me personally, I take in content better with my eyes than with my ears. I also don’t enjoy podcasts for that reason. there’s nothing wrong with podcasts, loads of people really enjoy them and get a lot out of them, but I prefer to read text than listen to it. it doesn’t make me an intellectual, or superior. I go over sentences and passages several times pretty often. Honestly it probably makes me a weirdo, kinda dumb because I need multiple goes at the content, and possibly a Luddite of sorts. But it’s just how I do, and that is okay, for me.

audiobooks are great because it's just so much more ~efficient~ to have them running in the background while doing more important things like coding javascript bing bong so simple

i'm a visual-only person and have to see poo poo happen in my head to process it, so audiobooks as background noise are unusable for me because as soon as i have to think about something else, they're immediately tuned out completely. i can still hear it, but it might as well be white noise and make no difference this means that if i'm doing something else, or even if i just think about what's being said in the book instead of following it, i'll lose the thread immediately and have to scroll back, so i'd rather just read it at my own pace instead melodies are about the only thing i can "follow" in the background, and even that's only become possible in my late teens, after i've been playing a shitton of music for over a decade first

My mom listened to a lot of Eric Clapton when I was a kid and I misunderstood Layla as gay love, I was too young to even have any understanding of what gay was, but I can promise you I got a lot of concerned looks when I busted out singing it in the grocery store I guess that and the Lana del ray song where she goes “goddamn man child” but I heard “goddamn my own child” and the next line really did not work with that misheard lyric

i dont get the issue with the pace of audiobooks being too fast because honestly, if audiobooks dont seem excruciatingly slow to you compared to just reading, you're probably subvocalizing when you read. so if we're gonna be rear end in a top hat purists about Reading then i think you should never get credit for REALLY READING anything, at all, ever. sorry. you're not even reading this post
