imagine being this audiobook narrator like almost all the stuff you read are thriller, romance and fantasy novels and then suddenly youre assigned 30 hours of reading Hegel out loud

I actually have this Hegel audiobook! It’s clear as the guy reads it that he’s unfortunately not a Hegel scholar and thus has no idea what the fuck he is reading, it’s just a series of words. Which is entirely forgivable - I doubt I would do much better, frankly - but I’d kind of hoped I could just Passively Read the p. of spirit only it turns out it’s really hard to understand something that’s being read aloud by someone who also doesn’t understand it; it just turns into a string of phonemes you have to consciously parse in your head, which is interesting I suppose.
