Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on cassette tape checked out form my local library. Got lost in those audio books as a kid after reading the books themselves.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on cassette tape checked out form my local library. Got lost in those audio books as a kid after reading the books themselves. My sense is that there are certain books that can be 'performed' in audio and they are best suited for the format. For academic or theory books, less so, although anything read by the author can give additional insight (or be incredibly annoying depending on their voice).
