    I really believe audiobooks are slowed down to pad runtime so people feel better about spending $30 on a 7 hour book that should be 4. I listen at 2x speed because 1-1.5 feels like it’s crawling by. The only time I slow it down is for technical non-fiction discussing science and math. Otherwise, full speed ahead.
