Neil Turner
What a great and timely question! I mentioned to my Reader's Club last month that I was working on a deal to have the first eight Tony novels produced as audiobooks, and I’m happy to report the deal has been finalized.
To answer the question, the truth is that I can’t read fiction that way. I enjoy listening to comedy and have gotten through some nonfiction audiobooks. The problem for me is that I’m easily distracted while reading, often pausing to think about what I’ve just read—perhaps a particularly clever turn of phrase or description, or simply a bit of information that gets me thinking—and suddenly I’m lost with no idea at what point I stopped listening. Some say my problem is that I’m flaky and have a miniscule attention span. I prefer my explanation. 😉
