My group's topic was failure. I chose a book that represented someone who failed in life and started reading. Simply reading the book didn't really fit my learning style, and it was harder for me to retain the information without going back into the text and rereading. I decided to download the audiobook, and since I study with my hearing, it worked much better. I managed to set a time when I would finish the book and I figured it out. I was also able to listen to it at double speed and still understand everything that was going on. I feel that being an auditory learner allowed me to process the information in the book better than just reading. It also allowed me to finish the book much faster than expected. If I had read the book in a more traditional way, I don't think I would have been able to finish as quickly or understand the book as well.
