Look at my new listening speed @squirrelbrain I‘m getting there!! Not nearly close to @Megabooks or should I call her #MegaSpeed 😊😘😂 I‘m enjoying both book & audio @Kalalalatja not sure why this has a low Litsy rating ?!? 🤔
squirrelbrain Yay! You‘re getting there! I think @Hooked_on_books listens on double-time too.... #speedfreaks 4y
Cinfhen Hehehehe @squirrelbrain GREAT HASHTAG 💕😁🎧😆 4y
Megabooks I bailed on this book years ago, tbh. And yes, my minimum listening speed is 1.7, often I listen at 2.1 or 2.2. I don‘t like Libby/overdrive/scribd as much because you can‘t go above 2. Congratulations on your speed upgrade!! And I love the hashtag #megaspeed! 😁😁😁 4y

Megabooks @squirrelbrain I like #speedfreaks as well!! 👍🏻👍🏻 4y
Kalalalatja I think the problem for me was the writing style. I feel like Zadie Smith writes a bit pretentiously, and emotionally distant. But tbh, I can‘t really remember if I liked the book or not 🤷♀️ 4y
Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain Yup, 2x for me! 😂 I do sometimes wish I could go even faster. 4y
charl08 I remember it as a good book, but there was an awful lot of stuff covered in it... 4y
Cinfhen I think #megaspeed and #SpeedFreaks are both awesome @Megabooks @squirrelbrain @Hooked_on_books but for now I‘m still #TurtleClass 😉Upgraded from #snailspeed 4y
Cinfhen I like that there‘s several story arcs @charl08 but I‘m still at the beginning of the book ( maybe 150 pages in) so we‘ll see if my interest starts to wane @Megabooks @Kalalalatja I‘m not finding it pretentious....Thank God 🙏🏻I‘ve had plenty of that last week 🙄 4y
Deblovestoread Love #speedfreaks! I now listen at 1.5. I had both of my brothers riding along with me and my Harry Potter book automatically started...they thought I was listening to someone speaking in tongues. 😂 4y
Cinfhen I‘m slowly getting there @kgordon18 / I‘m not sure I‘ll ever reach #SpeedFreaks status though 4y
marleed I think about all the years I listened to audiobooks and never thought to adjust the speed. Litsy taught me to consider speeding things up. My typical at home doing home stuff is 1.5 (1.25 if the narrator has a strong accent I‘m unaccustomed to). I‘m at 1.75 if I‘m out walking and singlely focused on the book. And 1.75 -2x if I‘m reading the book and listening simultaneously (my favorite thing to do!). 1x is now comically slow! 4y
Cinfhen Yeah, 1 is SOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOOOOOOOOWWWWW @marleed but I still can‘t get used to 1.5 or higher 🤷🏼♀️ 4y
