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?
Huckleberry Finn. It’s a great book but I would not be able to stomach hearing the n-word spoken so much.
Yikes, this brings me back to the days when they made us read books like that aloud in class.
