Does reading MyBB counts?
I spend a lot of time driving so to tend to favour audiobooks.
Not that I've ever considered listening to audiobooks as being reading any more than I've confused listing to music with singing.

I have considered doing just this for our morning drive to work. (from home to dropping off the kids then getting to work is usually around 45 minutes to an hour each day).
Can you tell me more about the setup you use?
Setup? Just Apple's CarPlay and an AudioBook reader.

Audiobooks with effort put it such as ambient sounds and effects and whatnot, are pretty good NGL
The ones where it's just a dude reading, eh.

Probably under 25 then...Hell no
Never read a book in my life
These are different times indeed, my 14yr old sits and watches hours of YouTube videos related to the different subjects at school. I told her to get her ass to her room and to study "normally"... She shot back "but dad, I'm a visual learner".... I had to think about that for a while..if results are anything to go by, it's not working out too badly!

Not at all.
Reading just isn't for me. Not even in school. We had Animal Farm but I can't really tell you what it's about.

I used to read a lot when I was younger. Then at some point I stopped because life just got too busy.
Started again in the beginning of the year. Reading before I go to bed. It's really relaxing .

Other : If we include studying. That is a poef ton of reading.
I'm a bedtime reader and listen to a seperate audiobook while walking (I try for a 30 minutes a day quick stroll). My target is 30 books a year but have some serious catching up to do as I'm on 9 completed so far
