when you listen to an audio book, do you feel that you've "read" the book?

i get that technically you listened to it and haven't read it, per se. however, all the same if you do read it afterward then it is familiar to you at that point.

i've heard different reasons for using audio books from not having time to it having an easier flow. having to see the book is another factor, as well as being able to listen in the car or at the gym.

right now i'm in the middle of my first audio book, "do androids dream of electric sheep," and i like it more than i expected.

so back to the question - when you listen to an audio book, do you feel that you've "read" the book?


Yes, when the Harry Potter series came out I was quite young so I used to listen to them on tape at first, and definitely felt like I'd read the book. Now I tend to both read the book and listen to the audio book if I can; when you read it you can picture it all in your head, and listening to it, for me, brings it all to life :)

    What I’m really asking: Is it time to make another movie version of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ?   Blade Runner was a masterpiece film adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s masterpiece novel, but it was just one interpretation of a very complex story.  I first read the novel in 1968 when I discovered it on the 7-day new book shelf at the Coconut Grove Library in Miami.  I can still remember reaching up to pull this very strangely titled book off the top shelf.  Even the cover was bizarre, far beyond the weird science fiction standards of the time.

    I have read the book and seen the movie many times, and just recently I listened to an unabridged audio edition read by Scott Brick entitled   It’s sort of sad when the public has to be sold a classic book by using the movie title.  Whenever I reread the book I’m always amazed by how well the movie got the book but also disturb by how much was changed and left out.  As soon as I started listening to the novel this time I kept thinking they really need to make a movie version that’s closer to PKD’s original vision.
