It takes a longer time to listen than to read, but it's dead time when I couldn't be reading. I just listened to
Gone Girl--19 hours--over the weekend. I did grocery shopping, went to the post office, did laundry, cleaned the house. Even if I could have read the book in, say, half the time, I didn't have 10 free hours to devote to reading. And I think my enjoyment of the book was enhanced by the narrators, too.
