I love books. One of my favourite book is Siddhartha. I discovered listening to books recently. I started with Audible during pandemic and later moved to Storytel. Listening combined with reading has enabled me to complete almost 1 book/week. Also I have become use to listening at 1.5 – 2x speed in general. Downside of that is that I don´t like now watching live programs as sometimes it is more efficient to go through them in a recorded version.

I love book recommendations. If you have one please let me know.
