Book listening?

7 January 2017: "If you've only listened to an audiobook version of a book, do you say you've read it?" --my friend Josh, asking me this really interesting question this evening.

I loved talking about this with Josh and my friend (and his wife) Anna. It's such a cool topic to dive into. (My answer to the question: "Yes, but with an asterisk." Josh asked, "What's the asterisk?" I said, "Well, you say, 'I listened to it to audiobook'-you are up-front about it." But it also depends on what you mean by "read" and who is saying it, etc.)
