Reading doesn't do anything other than harm your eyes by forcing you to focus on tiny strings of letters. Listening to an audiobook would be just as fulfilling, more convenient and not as damaging.

>>16612365Soyboys love reading because they think it makes them smart. Reading letters on paper doesn't magically make your IQ increase.

>>16612365I feel like my intelligence has been slowly decreasing. Part of it because of the Sharty. I think I'll try an audiobook and ease myself back into reading with my mind.

>>16612375Soyboys like convenient stuff and want technology in things they could easily do if they weren't such faggots. Reading letters in itself won't make you smart, you have to analyse the texr and construct meaning from it, which you cannot do as easily with audio books, retard.
№16612420[Quote]
>>16612415What if I read at the same pace as the audio book?
№16612422[Quote]
>>16612415>you have to analyse the texr and construct meaning from it, which you cannot do as easily with audio booksWrong. There is literally no difference between the two… unless you're retarded and need to read a sentence multiple times in order to understand it.

Audiobooks are worse because you can't go back and look over, better understand, or reflect on what you just read, and you're only passively listening to someone else. Maybe it will work for a work that's intended for oral recitation, or low-brow fiction, but for anything of substance (orally intended works excepted) you do not want an audiobook.

>>16612293 (OP)there's this one book about the bermuda triangle i read back in 2019, i don't remember its name or the author but i think the cover was like grayish blue, it was absolutely kino you should check that one out.
№16612443[Quote]
>>16612433Unless you're a drooling retard, there's no book so abstract that you wouldn't be able to understand it immediately. Name a single book that's so "uncomfortable and meaningful" that visual viewing is a necessity.

>>16612441I feel like it could work if you listen while reading so you can stop the recording at any point and reread. Idk I've never tried audiobooks but I'm tempted to cause I have dyslexia

>>16612468You can come to a better understanding of virtually any book by reflecting on it more, but I'll throw out Maistre's St. Petersburg Dialogues. Actively reflecting on, analyzing, and synthesizing information is also generally very useful for scholarly publications and academic journals, e.g. The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Russian Revolution, where you see articles that want you to reflect on them after reading in order to fully understand the central point(s) they try to make.

>>16612546I guarantee I would perfectly understand the contents of those books upon an initial viewing. Humans are not mystical, unfathomable beings. There's nothing that comes out of a human mind (that isn't total gibberish) that can't be immediately understood. Also, those are chuddy books for autistic losers.

>>16612613I haven't read 1984 but I liked Homage to Catalonia.
I also wanna recommend La Vida es Sueno (Life is a Dream), translated by MacCarthy (that's the version I read and I really liked it), unless OP is a spicaryan and can read the original spanish.
If a US Civil War novel about cowardice and bravery sounds interesting, check out the Red Badge of Courage.
