We've all been there: If it's not the right fit, even the shortest listen can feel like it's taking eons to get through. But what does it take to get through a really long listen?
We asked our fellow editors to share their longest-ever listens, and their responses were as varied as the individuals behind them. For some, 12 hours was a long listen, while others soared past 50 hours. Some felt the hours melt away as they were swept up into an epic saga, while others felt their stamina really being tested. But one thing was universal—we've all found long (to us) listens that we've loved and never wanted to end.
Here are the longest audiobooks we’ve ever listened to. What are yours?
