I‘m ramping up my listening speed @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @Hooked_on_books 😆#SlowAndSteady 🎧I‘m enjoying this audiobook but not as much as Poet X & The Fire on High
Megabooks It just takes time. Some narrators are easier to speed up than others. I listened to most of The Poet X at 1.7 4y
JennyM That‘s my max speed. Anything above 1.5 and I just can‘t take it in. Mega speedsters are impressive!!! (edited) 4y
squirrelbrain Yes, I‘m mostly at 1.5 too @JennyM @Megabooks Cindy - I have done some at 1.75 but usually only male narrators - women get too chipmunky for me at that speed! 4y

Cinfhen Hahaha 😂 “too chipmunky” that‘s coming from a squirrel 🐿 xxx @squirrelbrain 4y
Hooked_on_books It took me a couple years to get up to 2x. My husband either makes chipmunk comments when he hears my book or asks me what language it is. 😂 4y
Cinfhen I agree, @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @Hooked_on_books @JennyM It really depends on who‘s doing the reading for certain speeds to work. (edited) 4y
Daisey @squirrelbrain “too chipmunky” is exactly right 😂 and I agree that 1.5 is usually just right for me. I also often work the speed up gradually through a book. @Cinfhen the narrator absolutely makes a difference! 4y
squirrelbrain My husband is the same @Hooked_on_books - he thinks I‘m mad! I‘m trying to persuade him to listen to a book when we drive the campervan somewhere long-distance and I think I might have to cheat with the speed, just keep on pushing it up gradually hoping he won‘t notice! @Daisey 4y
Cinfhen It‘s funny @Daisey because a month ago I couldn‘t listen on 1.3 and now 1.2 feels SO SLOWWWWWWW 4y
