Are you really "reading" a book if you listen to it on tape (or CD or ipod)?
I came across a blog that the person talked about his/her love of books and then proceeded to highlight all of the books that he/she has recently listened to and will listen to soon.
Sorry, but I don't think it is keeping a keen reading mind by listening to a book. It is entertaining, yes, but just like watching a TV show or a movie. I wouldn't ever say that I saw a movie if I only read the script, so why do people say that they read a book when they really listened to it?
Oh, and for the record, I have listened to books on tape and it is entertaining - good for long drives, long flights, etc. But for me, nothing is quite like turning the pages of a book
