Can one read too much?

Keith Richards "Life" was the last one I think I tried, and after that I swore off them for good, lol.
To each their own ... I guess. Recently, I decided to start Trollope's The We Live Now (32 hours long!) , which I'd bought a while ago: "I'll just listen to a bit to see how it goes ..." Next thing I knew I was two hours into the book!

Unless you are visually impaired (with little choice), it's usually tedious to just sit and listen for long periods of time. Audiobooks are best combined with walking, public transportation, etc.
