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?
Hmm, well, I’d say Choose Your Own Adventure books would be a challenge as audiobooks. Can you imagine the narrator pausing and saying, If you want the main character to open the mysterious door, turn to Chapter 5; if you want them to run away, turn to Chapter 10? It might get a tad confusing!
