From Gretchen Rubin's Five Things Making Me Happy newsletter Item #4: I made a big happiness-boosting discovery recently. I love to read, but I can’t listen to audiobooks; somehow, my brain just doesn’t process the words. But I discovered that I can enjoy the audio version of a book I’ve already read. I love to re-read, but rarely have time to re-read beloved books, so realizing that I could enjoy re-reading through my ears has been a huge boon. Also, I’ve found, I appreciate a book in a new way when I’m listening to it. For instance, with Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, I noticed much more how Austen wove the themes of “pride” and “prejudice” throughout the novel. The words stood out more clearly when I was listening than when I was reading.
