Actually, I think was decided on some thread past that the unabridged audio version fully counts.

It was 18 downloads at something like 4 hours each download. The narration was excellent. I find I get much more out of the audio version of “older” novels. Words are pronounced correctly and spoken in context it is most helpful.

Read it, it is well worth it. I suspect I will read it before I die.

IMO, the only way to “read” Shakespeare is along with an audio performance, or preferably a televised version of the plays. The actors help to bring to life the nuance, emphasis, etc that you’re just to miss because first the language is 500 years and second it comes at you with speed.
