Hmm. Good question... Might as well ask what I like about fiction, which would yield similar results. I'm not sure how to answer. For context I listen to audiobooks when I go to bed, sometimes for hours depending on my insomnia levels. It's just nice to follow along an exciting and interesting story 🤷♂️. I'd say the biggest genre I listened to would be apocalyptic/post apocalyptic fiction, and zombie stuff. I think I like this because it's a bit of escapism, it's fun imagining how you would handle such a world, fighting for survival rather than the mundane day to day I currently have. I could probably go on and I don't know if I could accurately even answer your question so this will have to do
I think you answered perfectly. Books are enjoyment and that's all that matters.
