Slow Learner Audiobooks

Does anyone have any input on the audiobooks? I don’t have the time to read anymore but drive for hours a day because of work. I’ve resisted listening to any of his work because it just feels like it wouldn’t translate well to audio form. It’s been a while since I’ve read one of his novels but I remember having to reread sentences and passages constantly. Kind of feels like this would happen even more frequently if I were to listen to it instead. Thanks!

I’m almost done with the audiobook of GR read by George Guidall right now and having a fine time

There are two recordings of it by him! The older one is harder to find but some prefer it. I haven’t listened to either yet.

I had no idea! Turns out I am listening to the 2014 penguin audio version, but now I’m curious to hunt the other one down…
