I agree reading is an essential life-skill. One that should be honed constantly but that's just my opinion.

Do you know of anyone who had a job reading/writing who then goes home and listens to audiobooks to relax perchance? Because reading isn't a chore to me at all, I wish I could read all day. I do read all day but not always the things I enjoy reading. That's one of my life goals, just have a garden, smoke some weed and read all day long until I die. That would be heaven for me.

Listening to some gurgly old man after his 6th sip of water reading to me? Not so much.

But hey, different strokes for different folks. Some folks are fine not being two literate.
