And while holding a brand-new book, flipping through its pages, and taking a deep breath of its intoxicating smell is one of my favorite pastimes, I have to admit to an unpopular opinion: listening to audiobooks is just as an amazing experience as reading the physical book.Īnd I'm not the only one who thinks so. When I open a book, it's like the rest of the world completely shuts off, and I am transported into whatever I'm reading.

It's like eating cake - sweet and exciting if you devour it all at once, decadent and tantalizing if you take it slowly, one bite at a time. Reading isn't an every-now-and-then hobby or a rainy-day activity to me.
