    I don't object to dead tree books; I struggle to read them due to my visual #disability.

    Books are #books and people should #read.

    The why I read #audiobooks is below. If you were looking for an argument about planetary impact by book format, that's down the hall and on your left.

    If this isn't the answer you were looking for, you can go about your business. Move along, move along.

    I was born with #cataracts and I grew up with the #TalkingBook program through the American Printing House ... as an adult, I was kicked off of government assistance due to my sight measuring at 20/50 (this was an error; see below. I live in #Texas and ...). The error is, in restoring my sight to low-end normal, they cleaned out the innards of my eyes. I have no organic lenses and no support structures that could accommodate implants. All the ability to focus is in my eyeglasses. It's like having a telescope that you can't adjust - I have "distance" vision at the top and "reading" in the bifocal insert. And they're a special type of lens that even my workplace's vision plan does not cover. So yes, I technically see 20/50, but only what I'm directly looking at. To look at anything, I have to turn my entire head.

  2. @vor @wilw Happy #indiebookstoreday2023 to you too. Luckily even traditional books have a low carbon footprint. Sometimes lower than digital publishing. There's no bad way to read.

  7. @orbitalmayo @Gjoel #wilwheaton does an excellent job of narrating audiobooks - my personal favorites are #ReadyPlayerOne and Two by #ErnestCline as well as Redshirts and The Kaiju Preservation Society by #johnscalzi. He really brings these books to life.

  8. #TheReadyRoom mit #WilWheaton ist ein wundervolles Format, das regelmäßig #StarTrek-Themen aufarbeitet.

    Die aktuelle Folge mit #EthanPeck (Spock), #RebeccaRomijn (Una) und #AnsonMount (Pike) ist für europäische Fans bei Facebook anschaubar. Kein Geoblocking und kein Login, keine App notwendig:

  9. Another #MartinHench novel 💥 another #WilWheaton reading 💥 do we have it good or what?! I'm still in the prologue - should I go slow and make it last? Thanks for keeping this going @pluralistic! I'm digging the rewind on Marty's early years 🖨️ #PicksAndShovels

  10. CW: Long thread/19

    I've had some *great* narrators: #WilWheaton, @neilhimself, #AmberBenson, #BronsonPinchot, and more.

    I record my audiobooks with #SkyboatMedia, a brilliant studio near my place in LA. Back in August, I spent a week in their recording booth - "The Tardis" - doing something I'd never tried before: I recorded a whole audiobook, with directorial supervision: #TheInternetCon:
