And I don't know about other folks, but I can't manage anywhere near 2 hours a day, day in and day out.

I admit, I gave out somewhere in the middle of the series. They'd managed to get to Virginia, if I remember correctly.
I started listening to the the first Outlander book three years ago. I average about 4 hours a week, because I only listen during my drive home and it's about 40 - 60 minutes long, depending on whether I drive straight home or have other places to go first.

I've accumulated a lot of other Audible books in the meantime, but I expect those to go relatively quickly, once I've gotten through this series. I'm a little sad to be so close to the end, but I'm ready to get into some other books too. I do not think I have been able to keep it up if I didn't take relatively short "breaks" by listening to the alternate the shorter side story Lord John books in between the longer main story novels.
