    Hmm, audiobooks solve this problem for me since I can kinda let it happen while driving or doing absent minded chores.

    I can definitely understand that being a turnoff. There is an aspect to this reread where I am questioning a bit as to how much I actually like the books themselves, versus the idea of them I had in my head after reading so many fan theories and such.

      Can’t get into audiobooks, think the issue is the narrator in my head is better than the audiobook narrator in most cases.

        That’s fair, Audiobooks were absolutely killer for me in restarting reading as an adult. I’m a pretty slow print reader, and the frustrations of that combined with general lack of adult free time really stifled my reading till I started to use overdrive to get audiobooks from the library.

          I’m also a bit of a slow reader. I enjoy podcasts, I even enjoy radio drama podcasts, but I tried listening to an audio book the last time I had a 2hr drive and almost fell asleep at the wheel. I honestly wish I could listen to audiobooks, with working all day, I don’t have the attention to read on the bus home, and when I get home I really don’t have energy for reading.
