Honestly I think Capital is best absorbed as an audiobook. Throw it on while you're doing something else, because it is so God damn boring until you get to the later spicy bits.
I completely disagree. I tried the audiobook route, felt overwhelmed and like I retained nothing. Purchased a physical copy, did like 50 pages a week, and took notes. The text feels like it needs it too. Couldn't imagine making it through with how good my brain is at drowning out background speech.
Different strokes for different folks. I don't think I would have been able to make it through by reading it alone. Next time I decide to tackle it I'll probably listen to the audio book and resort to a book if there's any sections that I feel need a deeper analysis.
