I might try the audiobook might work for this but I doubt it. I tried the audiobook for The Magic of Recluce (one of my old favorites) a few weeks ago and couldn't get through the first chapter. Part of that is the "non-earth" fantasy setting and unusual names that I always pronounce differently in my head than they are read. That makes a big disconnect, especially for books I have read several times before. Mostly it is because I must consume it faster!

I have never been good at listening to books unless I can't read it myself, like when driving and I try not to switch back and forth for the same book. I will finish an audiobook by reading it but generally not the other way since I have already established names/pronunciations for myself at that point.
