pick

This book is required reading. It contains American history that is often overlooked. Isabel Wilkerson takes on the subject in a way that is engrossing, enlightening and unforgettable. I flagged many passages to revisit in the future. READ.THIS.BOOK

Native Son | Richard A Wright

I'm enjoying listening to Native Son but it's a long one. And while the narrator Peter Francis James is excellent, he is slow. Which I understand considering the book but I wish it was a bit faster. I'm just now reaching the halfway point at almost 7 hours and 30 minutes.

Do you listen to audiobooks at normal speed? Or do you speed them up?

Bookzombie Usually I listen to them at normal speed. If I feel like the narrator is slow, I will try speeding it up. Sometimes it‘s great and sometimes I have to go back to normal speed. 7y

MoniqueReads305 @Bookzombie I'm a normal speed listener, also. Speeding up audiobooks makes it sounds rushed but I'm wondering if that changes with time. 7y

Karkar I listen to all my audiobooks at 1.25x. It seems too slow to me now to listen regular speed. 7y

MoniqueReads305 @Karkar I think I might have to train my way to get use to listening at 1.25x. Each time I try I turn it back to 1x after a couple of minutes 7y
