It definitely took some practice for me to be able to focus on what I was hearing, when I initially began listening to audiobooks; I find that nonfiction holds my attention much better than fiction, which I find interesting. I listen while I'm running, most often, and find that I get books read much faster this way - ha!

Printed nonfiction tends to put me to sleep.Have decided that I must be an auditory learner. <br /><br />I've always hated reading directions, too, especially for new gadgets...

It was never caught because I am not hyperactive but I was in trouble for staring off into space and claiming the teacher did not explain the homework assignment ALL THE TIME. I realized that taking notes on everything was how I could pay attention. Even writing down what did not matter just to practice. I would forget everything 30 sec. after it was said so I wrote it down. I still cannot listen to audiobooks so maybe taking notes would be the trick!

I was so frustrated with them the first couple of times I listened (ok, more than a couple), but now I can actually listen to a book faster than I can read it because my reading time is so limited. Like you I started with books I didn't necessarily care about OR books that I'd already read.
