I had some eye problems last summer and it prompted me to consider a future where I might not be able to read. I decided I needed to get acclimated to audio books. I’ve listened to audio books from time to time, especially when I’m taking a long driving trip. But, given the choice, I’d rather read a book than listen to it. Tim Harford’s The Logic of Life: The Rational Economics of an Irrational World is eight hours long in the unabridged audio version. I can read the book version in about two hours. However, I’m going to persist in listening to audio books on a regular basis…just in case.
