Alex,

I have already voted, but I don't think I have every audioed a book I haven't read first...

I like the different perspective on favorite books.

Interesting question. My answer is a qualified yes.

It would depend heavily on who reads it. In fact, I've been known to buy audiobooks purely because I love the voice of the reader.

I can't think of an audio book that I've listened to and then went on to read in print, but I often will listen to books that I've read in print. Diana Gabaldon's, Stephen King's, Janet Evanovich's and Dale Cramer's to name a few.


Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street.

Diana's books are the only audio books I have listened to more than once.  The reader does a fantastic job!!
