I wonder if perhaps it's because I find getting information orally so slow and painful compared to taking it in myself reading, that I find it astoundingly hard to stay focused on someone talking, even if they are quite interesting? It's just sooooooooo sloooooooow.
God, yes. Totally this.
DD12 said this was why she hates books on tape and being read to in class... because people just read toooo slowly. Everyone except for me, apparently. She loves when I read to her because I'm the only person who reads fast enough.
