I have recently been getting back into audiobooks and was discussing them with a friend when this question came up. Obviously picture/comic books, manga and the like would not work in the format, but what other kind of books would not work in an audio format?
I was thinking House of Leaves for the obvious reasons, but is there a book you can think of that narratively or otherwise would not be well translated to audiobook?
OR a book that would need to be read in a certain way in order for an audio format to work?
Lincoln on the Bardo by George saunders. I believe there is an audiobook but for me the formatting really adds to the tone.
Formatting seems to be a common theme, I wonder what kind of attempts have been made at similar books in the past.
