Oh gosh! Playing the fiddle badly is a higher level of musicianship than playing the melodeon at all :)
I have all the Murderbot audiobooks, and I have all the books :) It's a different experience reading them to the experience of hearing them, but both are good. Also, I don't think it's so much a matter of focus and attention span, rather having enough free time to dedicate to reading. I can listen to an audiobook when I'm cleaning the kitchen, or cooking, or digging the garden etc, so audiobooks make it possible to read a book while simultaneously doing something else.
Also ooh. Yes, I adore The Goblin Emperor, which makes me think that since I share that with you too, I might like A Memory Called Empire which I hadn't heard of before. So I've just bought that! Fingers crossed :)
