I’ve always loved the written word, but audiobooks have become an essential part of how I consume literature. I find I listen primarily to nonfiction on audio: biographies, psychology, science, philosophy, current affairs. I find that complex ideas often settle more deeply when I hear them spoken. Listening allows me to absorb knowledge during moments when I’m otherwise in motion: walking the dog, driving, or even cleaning the kitchen. It transforms ordinary moments into opportunities for learning.
