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?

    The Familiar by the same author as house of leaves. Each chapter has timestamps in the corner. The chapters also have different fonts/writing styles for each of its characters. It also uses words and sentences in creative ways. Like using sentences as rain drops
