The audiobook as accessible reading When I discovered that audiobooks existed, I was a little surprised. Surprised because I only saw the situation from my point of view. I don't like listening to talking devices, I can say that calmly. For me the radio doesn't exist and I always use the laptop with the speakers turned off. But an audiobook can be interpreted in many ways. And perhaps it is the most accessible reading. Think about it: how will a blind person read? I don't think all books are translated into Braille. And then there are those who are forced to drive most of the day.People traveling by car all the time.
Hours and hours spent doing nothing. Ok, move on to driving, but I don't think it's relaxing. And again: can you read on public transport packed with people? How do you flip through pages, even if it's an ereader? Here the audiobook solves the situation for you. The audiobook is a hands-off read . You put on your headphones and listen to the story. Once upon a time - and Phone Number Data maybe even now, I don't know - dramas were on the radio, remember them? An audiobook is the same thing. It's like listening to a movie. I don't know how many audiobooks have been made. I don't even know how much it would cost to make one, maybe even more than a paper book.
However, it is also true that you can play a lot with voices and sounds and make reading - and therefore the book - a different and perhaps even better experience. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' puppy Because it reminds me of my childhood, when I didn't understand the absurd decisions of adults, when I knew that there was another solution, less bloody and less painful. Because it reminds me of the closed-mindedness of adults, the categorical "no" with no possibility of appeal. Misunderstood by Florence Montgomery Because it reminds me of myself, an entire existence not understood by others, but also a complete disinterest in being understood by those who are different from me. It reminds me of a life locked in my own world, misfit amidst realities beyond my understanding. Into the Wilds of Jon Krakauer For the courage to say enough, for the values it spreads, for the temerity and recklessness that I have always had.
