I'll eventually do something similar for Stormlight. I'm listening to WoT for first time, but read it a few years back. I listen while I run. It's good, because sometimes when I run I get tired, I guess, and don't pay the greatest enough attention, so I wouldn't want to be listening to material I wasn't familiar with. I hate having to rewind.

That's exactly how I got started with my sleep listening I wanted to reread WoT but was dreading the slog in the middle. So I figured if it put me to sleep, that's no problem! It worked out really well and the slog really wasn't too bad although there were some sections I just didn't bother rewinding to listen to.
