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?

    Cains Jawbone I guess. Since its more a puzzle than an actual book you would not get its true purpose out of an audiobook.
