Showerthought: I called audiobooks 'not real reading' until our club picked one for March
Jane in our Tuesday group picked a 14 hour audiobook version of the memoir and I showed up ready to argue it didn't count, but hearing the author's own voice crack on page 200 hit me harder than my eyes ever did on the paper copy.

Wait, the author actually cracked up at page 200 and you heard it live? That's wild to me. Like, I get that a narrator can do voices and stuff, but hearing the actual person who lived through it start to break down is a whole different thing. My wife listened to a memoir last year where the guy got choked up reading a letter from his dad, and she had to pull over she was crying so hard. I still gave her a hard time about it counting as reading, but honestly I was just jealous I wasn't feeling anything from my paperback. Maybe the voice is the whole point and the words on paper are just the blueprint.
