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?
It’s a famously difficult book, with sometimes really long run on sentences, weird grammar and punctuation, and it’s just hard to follow and often requires you to reread closely to decipher what’s happening in a scene.
