Yes...but there's an undercurrent of "reading is superior" that goes on on this board. As if you gain intelligence merely from READING as opposed to watching movies or listening to music or playing video games.
Gosh, we can't allow "listening to a book" count as "reading" because we are vested in the myth that reading is a superior activity. Doesn't matter if you are reading vampire fantasy romance porn or the history of the Punic wars. Merely that you are READING.
And as a side note, only reading BOOKS counts towards "real reading". None of this "reading on the internet" or "reading texts" or "reading facebook". All of THAT is reading and a lot LESS like "reading a book" than "listening to a book". But not to worry...we ascribe mystical intelligence building powers only to "reading books". (preferably on eInk or Paper).
