Ever since I dove headfirst into audiobooks (long commute + nightshift work) I’ve been tearing through books like I did as a teenager. There have been many instances where I’ve found that the audio format hugely benefits the story, so much so that I couldn’t imagine the experience without it. My personal favorite examples are Dungeon Crawler Carl (Jeff Hays is amazing), Joe Abercrombie’s First Law universe, Project Hail Mary, and Daisy Jones and the Six.
Without the narration of those books I truly feel like I’d be missing out on part of the experience. However I know that there are some books where an audio format would hurt the storytelling: House of Leaves comes to mind. I was also informed that The Spear Cuts Through Water suffers as an audiobook. I want to dedicate more of my time to physically reading and was looking for recommendations that work better on paper compared to their audio counterparts
