“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.” ~ Oscar Wilde
Audio books are the lazy man's way of reading. Except, they aren't. Except, they are.
Firstly, one doesn't "read" an audio book. Anyone that thinks otherwise is a damn fool. Secondly, "radio dramas" are pretty retro and hip. Think of audio books as radio dramas and suddenly that lazy streak of "fuck books" has turned into "hipster cool" quicker than it should have. It's because hipsters aren't cool, they merely aspire to difference for difference's sake.
If you're listening to a book on tape, at the end of the day it doesn't matter what you call it, there's a good chance you've got an old guy with an English accent reading you stories. Things could be worse.
