Well I have tried an audiobook. Only not for the entire length. I know what I like. That will never change. I see the world through my eyes and my brain. I reserve my experimentation for the content of a book, not the medium. That's who I am. I think I'll lose something and gain nothing if I try eating beef/pork/insects/ or enroll for a reiki course or give a chance to The Expendables 3 or use emoticons for all of my posts, or learn a new language via Pimsleur (shudder) or spend my weekends speed dating instead of reading at home, or watch the oscars or lift weights instead of going for a jog etc...
I have only one life, and I want to spend it being me.
