Books vs Movies/Shows
This may be an interesting discussion. I enjoy reading in general, magazines, newspapers, entire manuals other ppl may find dry, in addition to copious amounts of reading when I was in school and working, but somehow sitting down and devouring novels isn't my thing. I just can't do it w any regularity as I keep thinking if the story's good it would make a good movie/show and now for me it's 'wasted'. Ofc one's imagination is greater than those media but I'm visual and love watching stuff. What I mean by 'wasted' is one time I read The DaVinci Code and then the movie...boy, what a major bore cuz obviously I knew exactly what was about to happen. I can't believe many ppl intentionally ran out to read the latest Harry Potter novels *before* the movie came out, they actually want to do that.
