James Joyce Audio Book

So I have put together a list of great books.
1 Don Quixote 1605, 1630 Miguel de Cervantes Catholic
2 War and Peace 1869 Leo Tolstoy Russian Orthodox
3 Ulysses 1922 James Joyce Catholic (lapsed)
4 In Search of Lost Time 1913-27 Marcel Proust Jewish Catholic
5 The Brothers Karamazov 1880 Feodor Dostoevsky Russian Orthodox
6 Moby-Dick 1851 Herman Melville Transcendentalist
7 Madame Bovary 1857 Gustave Flaubert Catholic
8 Middlemarch 1871-72 George Eliot Anglican; agnostic
9 The Magic Mountain 1924 Thomas Mann Lutheran
10 The Tale of Genji 11th Century Murasaki Shikibu Buddhist/Shinto culture
11 Emma 1816 Jane Austen Anglican
12 Bleak House 1852-53 Charles Dickens Anglican
13 Anna Karenina 1877 Leo Tolstoy Russian Orthodox
14 Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 1884 Mark Twain Presbyterian
15 Tom Jones 1749 Henry Fielding


These are just some of them. There are nearly 100.
Now I would like to read them all.
Shakespeare, Plato and a lot of modern classics too.

The great thing is i found the majority of them on a site called archive.org in audio version.

1 So if I listened to all these books instead of reading them, would i miss out on anything??????
2 What do you think of reading vs listening? Do you consider it easier? Generaly it takes much longer to listen to a book vs reading.
3 Listening to Shakespeare and Plato make sense to me since the language is so different, But listening to 1984, or Moby Dick would i be losing something?

If you get unabridged audio versions you miss nothing of the book. I do both listen and read books. I have them in the car when I drive and enjoy them. I have listened to Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell while listening at the same time as the language is different and I found i got on really well.

I listen to audio books while doing other things like cleaning and ironing or my embroidery and when I want to relax I read a book.
