I sort of used to do this with the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books. If you have read or listen through them already it works quite well. There are so many random stories and in depths quirky explanations through out, so you basically get to experience them with another focus.

Do it with Pulp Fiction and maybe you can get the story in chronological order.

Pulp Fiction is in chronological order. Not by events, but by dialogue.

The movie’s circular, self-referential structure is famous; the restaurant hold-up with Pumpkin and Honey Bunny begins and ends the film, and other story lines weave in and out of strict chronology. But there is a chronology in the dialogue, in the sense that what is said before invariably sets up or enriches what comes after. The dialogue is proof that Tarantino had the time-juggling in mind from the very beginning, because there’s never a glitch; the scenes do not follow in chronological order, but the dialogue always knows exactly where it falls in the movie.

Here's my Bash script for combining a directory of .mp3 files into a single .mkv container using ffmpeg. It also reëncodes the audio using the opus codec which can help smooth out weird encoding artifacts from sloppily created MP3 files. The script retains the original MP3 file partitions as seekable chapters named after the input file names. I find it useful for some audiobooks purchased from libro.fm which are only available in MP3 format.

There’s already a container for audiobooks - m4b

Mka is excellent because you can add all the chapters and everything to the file and nothing needs to be re-encoded.

Now I wanna try this with Lord of the Rings.

I do this with The Sandman, since I know the whole story already and occasionally just want to revisit some part to enjoy it again. Surprised this is 'insanity' but whatever...

I do it with podcasts and audio books ive already listened to, too.

Its a nice way to change it up. Its also my nighttime go-to when I just want something to relax to, but I don't want a new book or episode of a podcast, where I'm going to now have to figure out where I was if I happen to fall asleep.

Oh, I see my mistake now. I was wondering why that children's book jarringly devolved into an erotic sci-fi horror that was oddly specific about current-era politics.

Anyway, the therapist says Timmy's doing a little better today.
