Brandon Sanderson - The Stormlight Archive.

I have really enjoyed the first three books of this series, but have found it hard to commit to starting book four. When I noticed the reading time for Rhythm of War
was twenty sevens hours plus, it put me off. I wasn't sure I would have the time to manage it.
But, Audible, is on special offer at Amazon for four months and I have treated myself to it.
So now I can listen to the story while doing other things. Is it cheating to listen instead of reading?

No. Listening is not cheating. Actually it be quite encouraging.

It's not cheating to listen to an audiobook rather than read the words, and even if it was, who cares if it helps you? The book police won't be around to ask you questions about this or anything.

Yep, my eyes are not great now and almost all my 'reading' is done via audiobooks - always unbridged ones. It's a little limiting as most books less than a few years old haven't been recorded yet. But there is plenty out there - far more than I can keep pace with.
