I started listening to A Song of Ice and Fire audiobooks while doing yardwork. It's a lot more passive than reading a book, but you get most of the same information.
Only criticisms, it's not as obvious when someone is talking without seeing quotation marks and there's some clever wordplay you might miss out on.
Example: I thought A Clash of Kings was saying Stannis's banner had a hart (male deer)instead of a stag and I didn't get what the distinction was. Obviously, it turned out they were referring to a heart.
