I just have to sometimes listen more than once. But i always can tell whether I'm following the book or not.

Why would you want to multitask while reading a book? You only read non-fiction don't you?

But no I mean worst l elitist more in terms of music board use... The kind of people who regard their taste in art as some sort of accomplishment. That goes back to Elph's logic... Audiobooks are too easy and reading is more mentally taxing... Hence the audio version diminishes his accomplishment in having consumed a book.
But consuming not an accomplishment. Only producing is.

Yeah I'm still right. Taste in art is associated with wealth and privilege and education. It's a flex to show you're not some mouthbreathing farmer. And showing that you're practical and serious minded and not about all that wasteful snobbery is how the farmers flex on the effete intellectuals. Elph wants to be the Bohemian snob elevated above his lessers and you want to be the working class snob tearing down your betters.
