Incidentally, I picked up a good condition hardback copy of Vonnegutās Galapagos in a second hand bookshop last week. I was very pleased with my purchase - Ā£1.50. I am very much looking forward to reading it.
Which section of the bookshop was it placed? Yes, travel books
So, what if Iām on a train and someone behind me is reading a video (Blu-ray or the other type) and I canāt see it but can hear it am I reading it too and if I am reading a book at the same time am I multitasking (which I believe only Women can do so Mrs C_S repeatedly tells me)?
Iām going to support my buddy Fatso here. Audiobooks are great and I do have an audacity account. I drive a lot , audiobooks are great. They donāt compare to reading books. The prose on the page was written to be the internal voice you imagine. When you read text you imagine and create your own world.
Iām only trying to get you to accept dictionary definitions of words. British words for British people. Iām taking back control of our language. Itās the will of the people.
No just the insidious misuse of that word in the presence of scores of more apt descriptionsā¦
e.g. The video of your cat playing with a ball of wool might be cute, amusing or fun; it is not in any way āawesome.ā
I only mentioned I was reading a bloody book, and this thread became Brexit Lite.
Audio books are for lazy people or those who have worn out the muscles in their wrist.
Or my Uncle who is blind of course.
