    Fucking gross. Maybe it’s the 250+ audiobooks I have influencing me, but the very best ones I’ve listened to transcend just turning words into sound. Sound effects, music, tone, emotion, accents, sarcasm, and god damn BLOOPERS all improve the experience beyond just hearing what is written down.

    I’m against it, fuck that literal noise.

      All I can think of is Jim Dale’s reading of the Harry Potter books. Fucking epic.
