#RandomRants
So, I picked up the audio book version for A Short History of Nearly Everything narrated by William Roberts. I'd heard a lot of praise about this one, but I don't feel it. It's been over a month since I started it and I'm still barely 15% done. I guess audio books are not my thing. But I'm the kind of person who finishes a book no matter what, so I guess I'm stuck.
BarbaraTheBibliophage Welcome to Litsy! Have you tried speeding up the audiobook? Most players will let you go at speeds over 1.0. Sometimes that helps make the narration better, believe it or not. And at the very least, it‘ll help you finish sooner. One thing I‘ve learned from people here, though, is it‘s okay to bail on a book! 6y
her-my-oh-nee @BarbaraTheBibliophage will try speeding it up. Thanks for the tip. 6y

Cinfhen Hi welcome to Litsy! Sometimes with audio it has a lot to do with the narrator ! I find for me memoirs "told" by the author work best! Hands down the best audio I listened too was![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
