Then let them ~~eat cake~~ listen to audiobooks
Commuting almost an hour one way means almost 2 hours "reading" a day, so long as you're wired for it. I understand some aren't able to digest books in that form.
Is also why like most people came here to begin with, they listened to a podcast. Really wish literal printed words weren't privileged so much, you can get through a shitload of books as audiobooks since you do not have to avoid doing anything else. Chores, your job, cooking, playing a relaxing game, you can basically just breathe books without your life being put on hold.
Absolutely, breathing books is a great way to put it.
It isn't the same as reading a book, and you have to be ready to pause frequently, but way better than nothing. Sometimes I even put music and an audiobook on at once
Nothing that requires full attention of course. Like pop-leftist books such as bullshit jobs there's a lot of what is to me fluff.
