reading books makes me feel more connected to them since my attention can wave when i listen to an audiobook.

Reading. My attention can waver when I listen to stuff but when I read, I'm fully immersed in what's going on

I prefer reading as it forces me to pay attention. When I listen sometimes my brain will turn off the sound which makes it hard to follow a plot. I like listening to stories that I know well, it’s comforting in the background and if I fall asleep or get distracted I can usually pick it up and understand where I am in the story and what happened. I also find comfort in the smell and feel of books that I just don’t feel when listening to stories.
