This year I have a personal goal of reading 30 books. It's mid-October and I have read 25 books so I am very happy that I am close to my goal.
Once a year, People magazine has a book sale for Time Inc employees. They sell the books they get to review and give the money to charity. So I picked up a few more books and audiobooks. But if I listen to a book rather than read a book, am I cheating on my goal?
It would still be time spent listening to the book versus reading it. The benefit of listening to the books versus reading them is that I can also do something else at the same time like fold laundry, sort through papers, wash dishes, clean my apartment, whatever.
For my last 5 books should I read actual books or throw a couple of the audiobooks I picked up today in to the mix?
Yes, Mia it is cheating on your goal when you listen rather than read the book (IMHO) because someone else is "reading" for you. I think of it like using Cliff notes in college....sure you get enough to pass the test but do you really get the material?
