It's a totally different experience reading than watching a movie and even if it's the "same" title the book has so much more detail and emotion in it. Also, I wouldn't want to watch a movie on a screen that small.</p> Wed, 06 May 2009 20:01:06 +0000 Anonymous Patron comment 39200 at Of course! <p>For all the reasons given already, but also because movies etc are only ever a pale reflection of the book they are puportedly based upon.</p> Mon, 04 May 2009 00:06:16 +0000 Anonymous Patron comment 39173 at Why I read books: <p>Too much of the fare on television and in films is just stultifying crap.</p> <p>Even material that is interesting can only go so far.</p> <p>Books are not interrupted by commercial breaks; although there is almost invariably some drooling, alliterate moron who wants to know what you're reading.</p> Sun, 03 May 2009 09:42:00 +0000 Anonymous Patron comment 39171 at YES, YES, YES! <p>I have to agree, the idea of watching most movies, and even TV shows, on a tiny screen is less than appealing.

But I spend about an hour a day using that device, and more than an hour a day reading books and other print resources.</p> Fri, 01 May 2009 16:05:28 +0000 Walt comment 39162 at would you still read books? <p>Trick question!
