I'll sit on the computer and read lengthy articles, poetry and stories but for some reason, I can not sit down and read a full on novel. Their have been 2 books that I've really enjoyed from front to back and as far as I know there has been no film adaption but these books were back in junior high.

Books provide such rich worlds... and insight into the characters no movie could ever hope to express.

Someone a lot cleverer than me said, "I prefer radio to television, the pictures are better". The same can be said for books.
Books give you all you need to know to paint your own pictures. It's great when movies are true to their book counterparts but they can't compare to what the imagination can conjure up
