marcicatAudiobooks sometimes have the odd side-effect of reminding me just how much I don't learn by listening. My current audiobook is a whopping 18 hours long, which is Very Long compared to my usual listens, and also has a lot of fantasy names.
After ten hours of listening, I can remember exactly FOUR of the names in the book. No, wait, five, but that's because #5 has a nickname that's an english word.
(Also, two of the names I only know because I saw them written in the book summary, so I probably shouldn't count them.)
This isn't a problem, exactly, although it does sometimes make it awkward when I want to talk about an audiobook. I'm reading a book! It's about some people! No, I don't know their names. There are dragons! I also don't know the dragons names. It's a fantasy setting! I don't remember the name of the city either.
