@bibliolater When I actually physically read a great story, I often can't remember later whether I read it or watched it as a movie. So, yes, audiobooks count as "reading" for me.
@GinevraCat I did not realise this was such a divisive issue. I prefer reading as opposed to listening to a book as it helps me in retention; however, I do not begrudge those who prefer listening to audiobooks.
