Would you rather walk in the woods or go to the library? Choosing the former would indicate you would rather serve in the infantry.

Even knowing this in advance, it was still impossible to flunk this test.

When you read a book, you are making the movie in your head. The book is the script, but you are the director. You control the cast, the setting and the costumes where the script doesn't specifically describe, and all nuances that are, also, not sharply defined. And, if you wish, since it is your personal movie, you can add scenes and scenaries.

Books over movies in almost all instances.

I haven't owned a television in 35 years and the last movie I saw at a theater was Avatar. I watch maybe one movie every five years or so. Maybe. But I read every day.

I've always loved to read. I used to see a lot of movies. I worked nights so I would go to the matinee in the day. It was cheaper and less crowded. I would also see a movie first and then go read the book (!).

Movies now are not for me. I don't like superheroes; I don't like vampires; I don't like outer space; I don't like science fiction; I don't like fantasy. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie preview and thought "Boy, I'd really like to see that" but I have seen books that are coming out that I thought "Boy, I'd really like to read that one."

it's on a streaming service I don't subscribe to!

and the world slips away. I’m reading Michael Connelly’s, “Waiting “, not exactly quiet but still an escape to somewhere else….

But if the book turns into a page turner, the film fades into the background. If I set out to watch a great movie, no books are involved.

the ability to allow myself to become completely absorbed by a story. It's such a magical way to "travel" my mind and your words.
To be in the courtroom with F Lee Bailey, to be there when Billy got Old Dan and Little Ann in Where The Red Fern Grows, to witness the voracious appetite of a man at a all you can eat restaurant feeding his entire planet, ( can't remember the name of the story,
To be there when Fame invites a hungry artist to meet him behind the cemetery in a hundred years in one of Lord Dunsany's Fifty-One Tales, Food For Death was magical, or to hear the true story of the Turtle and the Hare, same author are memories as real as any personal experiences because I was there in my full mind and spirit.

To witness an orphan becoming the greatest baseball player of all time, to be inspired by the stories of so many great men and women, to find gems worth incorporating into my personal value system and for so many more reasons, It's books by a mile.
TV or Movie Theaters will never captivate me the same way.
Great question Debbie

how the director's used his creativity matched my imagination.

“Station Eleven” by Emily St. John Mandel is one I read a couple weeks ago ago…kinda stays with me, so I had to read another of her books…”Sea of Tranquility”. She has an interesting style.

details then a movie.

tablet,

When you read a book, the world is yours. When you watch a flick, you see what the director imagined it should be. It is very hard to interpret a movie in many ways, while a book is whatever you might want it to be. Putting a movie on pause/hold is awkward and leaves little time for serious contemplation. A book is more than willing to take a break to allow you to consider alternatives.
Books Rule !!!
