What do you make of audiobooks? Does listening to a book count as reading it?

A natural way to answer

I think audiobooks are a great option. Some people argue they don't count as real reading, but I disagree, you're still taking in the story. A skilled narrator can add a lot, and listening lets me enjoy books while doing other things.

Key phrases to use

• up in arms — very angry or upset about something, and protesting about it“People get up in arms about whether audiobooks count.”
• fits around — is flexible enough to be arranged conveniently within a busy schedule“Audiobooks fit around my day really easily.”
