Hello again, Jenelle! Glad to see you're feeling lots better. :) I do something a little similar to this. I read papers & articles instead of books for the most part, and use a combination of Chrome extensions to read virtually anything online for free outloud while simultaneously reading the text myself. I don't really have a 'favorite' book. It changes with each stage of my life to the point where declaring a favorite feels almost too rigid, if that makes sense. I also don't expect to read more books as much as more content outside of books themselves that interest me. I will also sometimes speed up longer youtube videos to make it go faster. I may or may not have done that for this video. One small bit of feedback: with KZfaq, spacing the actual publishing of videos out a little is known to help more than uploading a 2+ videos all at once (I will watch the other video tomorrow though!). Spaced repetition applies to KZfaq publishing too. Hope that's helpful

That's interesting that you read and listen at the same time. I would think that would enhance learning and understanding for most people. That's something I did try with a physical book and audiobook, but with how my brain works, it was just distracting. I like your view on not having a favourite book! I definitely have a few, but who I am changes often as I learn more and follow my interests, so I almost always feel in flux in general. And in terms of watching KZfaq videos, I almost always watch on double speed as well (most of my KZfaq consumption is for learning purposes and taking in information, so it's a similar experience to audiobook listening). My own gauge for someone being a favourite KZfaqr is if I want to watch their videos at regular speed haha. Thanks so much for your detailed comment! I always appreciate hearing others' experiences, especially when it comes to reading and learning.

I tried to listen to audio books, I just couldn't focus. Even in school I could never listen to lectures I would always prefer to read the lesson later to memorise it. I suppose it depends of the way your brain works, what type of concentration you have.

Thanks for sharing, Satine! Yes, it definitely depends on how your brain works. I'm always fascinated to hear how others process things, especially since I have aphantasia, meaning I cannot picture things in my head. Do you ever read using an e-reader? I still haven't tried one, but I'd be interested to hear your experience with that compared to regular books if you have.

@Jenelle Carter thank you for sharing too. I never used e-reader before, I don't like reading books on screen (it would be my last resort), I read only paper books. I suppose its because I'm a designer in real life so I spend most of my day on PC, and the feel of paper relaxes me and the reading paper books have an comfortable feeling, don't know how to explain it better 😆
