    I've never really gotten into reading fiction. I hated it at school and now it's not being forced on me, I don't really think about it. I do feel like I'm somehow missing out when you're talking to someone about a movie and they're all like "The book was so much better!" though. I also feel like punching them.

    • Not trying to push you or anything, but the thing is books are usually much more interesting than film.

    • why? because words are much better for description than an image. A story in a book is always "better" than in film.

    • But I enjoy the visuals so much. And if you say the visuals are in your head, I will want to punch you too!kalkal
    • punch me not - but books are better :P

    • I like books and films, but I think I like films more because it takes less time to consume them. However, books are richer (mostly).Jaline
    • more rich, usually. You can visualize everything and create worlds on your own. However, some cinematography is great.Jaline
    • I think films are easier to understand. A book, for the same film, takes more time to grasp. well it depends too.
      ********
    • but it's the story that counts. film or text, it somewhat depends on the value of the interpreter/reader.
