      The Internet: YouTube- Music or movies. Some books are very boring. I read only summaries online. I have better things to do with my limited time.

 I love to read!  But, I do love movies too.  One of my favorite authors is John Grisham and I really get excited when one of his books is made into a movie; several have been already,  like A Time to Kill, The Client, The Firm, The Chamber and maybe a couple of others I can't think of right now.  He is an excellent
author and the movies are always good too even though they can't possibly put as much detail into the movie.  And several of James Patterson's books that have been made into movies have been good too.  I have been dissapointed a few times with the movie after reading the book but not by any of the best known authors.

I always like the books better than the movies.  I think it is annoying when parts of the book are either changed or left completely out of films.

I bought myself a kindle with my earnings and I must say that I read much more that I watch TV or movies. I find it much more relaxing and I don't have to worry about missing anything if I have to get up to answer the door or phone.  :wave:

I think there was a time I would have taken movies over books.  Now I think it is the other way around.  :dontknow:

I love reading the book and the going and watching the movie to see how much of a difference they are.. But the book always seems to be better...
