I have recently been getting back into audiobooks and was discussing them with a friend when this question came up. Obviously picture/comic books, manga and the like would not work in the format, but what other kind of books would not work in an audio format?
I was thinking House of Leaves for the obvious reasons, but is there a book you can think of that narratively or otherwise would not be well translated to audiobook?
OR a book that would need to be read in a certain way in order for an audio format to work?
I tried listening to Lincoln in the Bardo, but had to give up, because I couldn’t keep track of all the different narrators. According to Wikipedia, there are 166 different characters in the book…
Sheesh, you’d have to pay a lot of people a lot of money to do that 😭
