You lose the benefit of IMAGINATION!!!!
Reading a book is far more creative...as you have to create a mental image of the characters etc.....
Sure you can watch a movie of a book in under 2 hours,but it cuts out a lot of infinate details and it gives you the idea of someone instead of creating them yourself
I liked to read books and get an image of what the characters look like then see how the comparision works with the actors in the film!!!
My favourite Book is "The Da Vinci Code" By Dan Brown,I also like his "Angels and Demons",two of the most inspiring books i have ever read....
I couldnt put these books down,i think i read both of them in just under 2 weeks...
My Fav Author has to be Stephen King....Best books ever "Pet Sematry" and "The Boogeyman"
