no, and no.
the second no just because I let my mind wander when I listen to stuff, so I don't think I can properly follow a story in that way. --- "I could never encapsulate all my cosmicality on my own." - mr. MFN eXquire. http://imgur.com/rvwNj.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think so, yes. People have listened to stories a lot longer than they've read them.

Absolutely. And no, it's nothing like watching a lets play of a video game. There's no difference in reading a book and listening to an audio book.

I dont care if someone counts it. I just know I have no interest in them. I like the actual books. Nothing from an electronic device for me. I want to have a book in my hands.

Well, you didn't read it, so that should be obvious. You could instead say you heard a book being read to you.
Otherwise you could read books to a newborn baby and tell everyone they've read a bunch of books lately. :p --- I'm here! I'm furry! I'll try not to shed! =^_^= i7 5820K|Rampage V Extreme|32GB DDR4 Ripjaws 4|EVGA 2080 Ti XC Ultra|HAF 932 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think it counts, but if it comes up with me I specify that I listened to the audiobook. But most of the time I prefer physical books, because I retain the information better if I read it.

It's like saying you beat a game but you watched a let's play.However, if your intent is to "go through a game" to clear it from your backlog, watching a let's play start-to-finish is alternative, but legitimate, way to do it. I once did this with a friend for Limbo; I played and they watched. When they asked "What happens if you [...]?", I'd hand the controller to them, but they wouldn't take it. [ Btw, we played with my copy of the game on his console, so he received the achievements for it. ] . LeoRavus posted...

Does not count. I mean you could be illiterate and listen to the audiobook. Absolutely does not count as a book you read. But then again nobody's going to know if you claim to have read it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's an inconsequential detail, so you might as well just count them. You absorbed the book in some manner and the result is the same, whether read or heard. I feel like the folks who care enough to "disqualify" books on tape are maybe too concerned with the aesthetic of being a book reader.
But shit, you might gain some cool points if you say it was on a physical cassette, rather than digital/streaming. Bonus points if you have the huge clamshell box for the four-tape set in your car. --- The food here is terrible.

Yeah, if you're talking about someone who can't actually read a book for whatever reason, it's definitely awesome that they don't have to miss out. --- It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present, and a waste to live in the future. (He/Him). ... Copied to Clipboard!
