Read nonfiction books. Don’t listen to audio. Save audio for fiction.https://twitter.com/AdamMGrant/status/1073955723229450248 …

Keith, I mostly agree. However I find it evocative when the author actually reads their work. There is authenticity and authority conveyed with a human connection to the work. Indeed I will also read the book, but if I get a chance I want to hear it in their own words first.

Agree! I've listened to many nonfiction narrated by the original author. Since it's their own work they often add commentary. "After I wrote this next paragraph I've learned..." Print is a snapshot of thoughts frozen in time, I love hearing what the author has learned since then.

Dave, indeed. So many times I have found the missing dimensions of the author’s work with the audio version. Additionally it compels me to seek out interviews and presentations also. So much context to be found especially with new concepts and ideas.
