Personally,I prefer books.Movies have only been around for a small amount of time and by favoring movies,I am not immersing myself in the words and thoughts of great women and men of the past.I can not imagine simply not reading books which have captured the hearts of so many people.Although many films try to bring out what the author was trying to say,they usually have big budgets and a lot of editing.I like that most of the authors who are famous,had incredibly raw and emotional lives and I really think that their inspiration came from that.
When reading a book,we are so engrossed into the story line that our mind's eye has crafted a picture and emotional response that is highly intense and real.With this in mind,a movie production would be hard pressed to match what we already have formed within our mental file cabinet.
