I agree on the audio books. Just not the same as reading the actual book. At the time, I had a huge job to do after a death in the family (housework to the tenth power — lived there 60 years, so a big job) and needed something to listen to while I tackled all that. A nice novel set in a previous century fit what I needed at the time.
I’ll have to give it a try. Maybe Ray Bradbury would be nice in audio.
(We’re going through something similar now, with clearing out a relative’s home.)
