books everyone but you has read

What books do you feel like everyone but you has read? It seems like everyone I know had to read The Lord of the Flies in high school, yet I somehow escaped it.

Audiobooks vs radio plays

I recently listened to an audiobook called A Long Walk to Water. There was this strange echo effect when a character was thinking. (At least, I think that's what is going on.) I also listened to an audiobook called Shatter Me, where I eventually figured out that a recurring sound effect was words being crossed out.

What do you think about sound effects in audiobooks? To me, it starts to verge into a radio play. I kinda just want someone to read me the book. But then again, I enjoy when a narrator does different voices really well, so maybe I just contradicted myself. :)

Are audiobooks reading?

I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask this question--When you're listening to an audiobook, do you say you're reading it? Does it count as reading?
