  A book, every time. For me, even the best film doesn't come close to good writing. If I have 90 minutes to watch a movie, then I've got that same time to read.

    that you'd invariably choose book over film in any arbitrary
    number in making these kinds of hypothetical decisions? ~AH

      Yes, just for spite. Figuring anyone who's forcing me to choose has got to be connected with Crappywood, like my cat I'll always do the other thing.

        associated with HorrorWood,Karloffornia from distant past. Possibly
        from your childhood, as tingings of nostalgia might provide some
        motivation for choosing book over film? ~AH

          And by the way, the name's Shirley (which I like to imagine would be the standard response from baritone John Shirley-Quirk). The forcing in the original poster's question is the key. If my free will is in play, I might indeed watch "Striptease" instead of reading "Ulysses," just for the nostalgia.

  with limited time to read (kids, work, etc), it isn't easy findind time to read all the books I'd like to so I watch movies. Lately a lot of foreign ones as the tripe coming out of Hollywood is getting hard to take.
