If you liked the scene between Dolarhyde and Reba, then you'll probably enjoy Manhunter, done up in Michael Mann synth soundtrack.

If I had to explain Warhammer in a pithy phrase I'd say It was 'Space Rome, but Dethklok. Surprisingly good.'

A current favorite is a memoir/interview with Paul Simon Miracle and Wonder. Narrated by Paul Simon and Malcolm Gladwell; not only insights into music, but music performances as well!

Personally: Liesl and Po by Lauren Oliver. Something about feeling lonely as a kid felt relatable. One of my parents was sick a lot when I was growing up, the other parent didn't really know wtf to do with me. Books were escapism for me.

I wanted to be Liesl for a long time. Going on an adventure and making the world bright again.

Admittedly I'm a rather young adult, still in post-secondary. We'll see if this book sticks with me. I should do a reread at some point.

Reading a physical book is something you're actively doing. Listening to an audiobook is more like something that's happening around you.

It's a lot easier in the latter situation to just... tune it out.

I don't do audiobooks because some books straight up don't work with the format. Sometimes the medium of print itself is part of the story.

Honestly the main advantage of audiobooks is the same as its main disadvantage - you can focus on something else while they're playing. I prefer to give books my all

Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salaman Rushdie.

It was required reading in 6th grade and to this day it's still one of my favorites. I feel like it would be perfect for a kid's fantasy-adventure movie too.

Is that obscure these days?

Do you need assistance?!

I find that non-fiction is more difficult to retain, especially if it tends to list a lot of facts. Fiction is easier to remember if the story is interesting. Neither will work if I'm doing something that requires concentration.

Did you give up on audiobooks?

I never started. Honestly, I just don't have the patience to listen to people talk for long periods of time. I think I would lose interest in the story really quick. Never listen to podcasts either.

There are dozens of us!

I know a lot of people I hold on high regard who count it as reading, and from their ability to learn and teach from what they've learned, I can tell it sticks with them. (Dealing with nonfiction mostly in my reading circles.) Some of them supplement their visual reading with the audio. So I think oh can count for some. It doesn't work for me unfortunately. Just whatever it is about my ear-brain connection isn't very strong.

I don’t know but it’s called a Book Club not a Reading Club. Enjoy it either way.

Be aware that there is a lot of content outside of the direct Horus Heresy series.

It covers an amazing breath of the Galaxy of the 41th Millennium beyond just the Legions. Orks, Space Elves, dark space elves, blueberry communists, Military and its Commisars

Ad the Heresy series goes on, the continuity control amongst some of the authors can slip, and we see the same events told repeatedly (A thousand sons and Propero burns, for instance).

Also, in attempting to take itself seriously, it can take itself too seriously at times.

Personally not but I’m open to others opinions!

Same, I used to think audiobooks weren't for me, but I just needed them at 1.2x instead of regular.

Hi there. This subject has been very popular in the past. Please use reddit search and/or check the /r/books/wiki/faq.

I've not seen that version but I'll be sure to add it to the list!

I remember a lot of books impacting me as a kid but the ones that impacted me the most were the Ramona Quimby novels by Beverly Cleary. I was impressed, even as a kid, with how she was able to write from a child's perspective so accurately.

Reading is better in my opinion because the narrator introduces their own layer of interpretation between the author and the listener. But reading is exclusive, you really can't do anything else. I love blasting audiobooks through my whole house and go about my day doing mindless tasks like exercising, cleaning, summoning demons, etc. As to whether or not it qualifies as "reading", I don't care.

I like audiobooks as an alternative to podcasts when I am walking or on a long drive. If I listen to audiobooks at home, I tune out.

It’s reading with your ears.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy will absolutely move you

Yes omg I love your comment!! Same situation, reading it at different ages has made me feel differently and more sympathetic. It's like such a beautiful portrait of human life and all its misgivings.
