Off-topic: I wonder sometimes at the use of "read" for audiobooks. I don't mean it as a slight -- 25 books a year is honestly more than I take in in any medium, unfortunately -- but it feels like the wrong verb for the action. "Listen" doesn't really feel like it conveys the active retention process generally going on, either.
