malcolm gladwell is good in the sense that all his books, that i've read at least, when you get bored its on to the next obscure subject.. but I wasn't really impressed with these.

I included audiobooks for sure. Probably 70% or so were in audio format, but I don't personally find that to be any less valid. it's more about time constraints for me. I can listen to audiobooks while Im at work, so I have 8hrs a day that I can dedicate to audiobooks. I can read a physical book quicker than an audiobook if the time factors are controlled, so I don't really feel like its cheating....maybe just enhancing efficiency lol.
but word to retention... even if the retention rate is lower for audio (not sure if this has actually been proven) I still have more time to revisit certain subjects and authors in different books that consider more angles that I may have not absorbed from a previous book that I listened to. Idk its all subjective...a lot of people I talk to debate the idea of audiobooks being a valid platform....but I also read extensively more physical reading materials than they do as well. Based on my experience, I dont think theres a large enough difference to not consider them in my list. I really just maintain the list so that I can keep track of books and authors that I enjoy. That way I can revisit them or try to remember what the book discussed. at the end of the day too its just a silly list that I started doing a few years ago to motivate me to read and its been really helpful. I read that Kyballion book you recommended a while back BTW. shit was fire. Salute, my guy. |

wasnt tryna insinuate you shouldnt count them shits either. its your list, fuck what anyone else is talkin in regards to it. unless you tryna snob it up & impress niggas talm bout "oh ive read this many books" & shit, like who gives a fuck. personal growth/understanding is the essence, no? in my personal experience there is a difference between the two - the biggest one being i can listen & do other shit at the same time - which also means my attention can waver more so when listening - as opposed to being physically sat with a book, body & eyes fixed. i just tend to rewind audiobooks at times where i know like 10mins has gone by & i know i wasnt hearing a muthafucking thing of what was said. but yeah, retention. if i had to call it, i might say i retain things i hear better than than i do reading them. plus knowledge was passed down verbally prior to it being written/read. so i hear you - subjective. & word on the kybalion recommend me a joint or two you found value in, i'll check em. |
