Honestly, it doesn’t faze me if anyone thinks audiobooks is not reading.

Because of audiobooks, I’ve covered much of the works of Seth Godin, Malcolm Gladwell, Michael Lewis, Stephen King, Karen McManus, Gillian Flynn, and Chuck Klosterman.

I regret nothing.

I was at Disneyland the day they were celebrating Dick VanDyke’s 90th birthday. He came out and danced with the chimney sweeps to Step In Time and put them all to shame.

I’ve always been a big fan of his, but holy crap, it was impressive to see him dance at 90.

All I did was show up and post about a few books and then follow a few righties and a few lefties and I’m already on a bunch of lists to be blocked.

This site amuses me so.

My book total reading straight from pages since 2012… about 20

My book total reading from audiobooks since 2012… over 400

Audiobooks is reading to me. Who cares what the consensus is.
I’m convinced the “do audiobooks count as reading?” argument all derives from those mid-90s summer reading pizza challenges.

Folks - we’re all in our 30s and 40s now. It’s no longer a competition.

Go buy your favorite pie with your adult money and let people enjoy books however they want.

The rules of Whammageddon

Begins at 12a on Dec 1 and continues until 11:59p Christmas Eve. If you hear even a second of Wham!’s “Last Christmas”, you are out when you recognize it

Only the original counts. Covers and remixes do not count.
Well, I’m out.
Whammed! on November 22. Definitely the earliest I’ve been out. It’s my own fault. I didn’t preview this list before playing it. 🤦🏼‍♂️
Good luck to the rest of you!!!

Women, would this work on you?
