Do you consider Audio Books "reading"?

I don't have time to sit with a book anymore, and the radio has nothing but garbage on, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone, and start listening to Audio books during my commute. In the last few months, I've "read" several Stephen King books (my favorite author). I'm currently on book 7 of 7 of the Dark Tower series.

When I had a long commuted, I listened to a few books and always refer to it as having "listened" to the book.

I just started doing this myself. Right now I am "reading/listening" to: To Kill a Mocking Bird. I love it! My daughter (2) falls right asleep during long drives. It is very peaceful and relaxing, so much less annoying than the radio!
