I do too; but a lot of housework and other chores are kind of mindless, and I like to listen to something interesting while I work.
I’ve found I can’t do fiction audiobooks; I have to actually read fiction; but I like audio nonfiction, various lectures, podcasts, etc.
Interesting. The person doing the audio has to leave out a lot of the content or do they not?

For what it is worth, a group of us have been working for years now to transform old works into audio so that it may increase convenience and efficiency. If I have at some point mentioned this to you before I mean nothing by it but I do not remember seeing this username at many times. I do try to list the works we finish all under the key word freeperbookclub, as well as others I find of a similar nature.

Our more popular works include a biography of John Hancock, a bio of Patrick Henry, and Mercy Otis Warren’s 3 volume set cataloging the history of the American Revolution.
Additionally there is two recorded audio versions of the Federalist Papers, and works by really amazing authors such as Bastiat, Hayek, Mises, President Calvin Coolidge, several works about Ben Franklin, the papers of Thomas Jefferson and Samuel Adams, the Journal of Lewis and Clarke, and Christopher Columbus.
All is in the public domain.(and all of the texts are also directly linked if needed)
