Good Book or Good Movie

So! which do you prefer?
Reading a good book or watching a good movie? And why?

I personally prefer reading a good book because they last long, I can read at my own convenience and a book makes a bigger impact that a movie.....

I would say a good book.

A good book. They allow me to use my imagination to visualise what's happening.
They also tend to be much more enjoyable for me, than movies.

Often the book, which is why I haven't seen the Bourne series yet, or several others.

A good movie. I mean I've read some really good books, but I'm more for visual.

Both, but I voted a good movie.

I voted Good Book only because I get more out of rereading a masterpiece than out of rewatching one. Movies are good for me once---maybe three times if it's Tarantino---whereas I have books I've been constantly rereading every six months for the past six years.

Comparing apples to oranges.

The criteria for a delectable book is different from a delectable movie. A good book stimulates you in different ways than a good movie. Even the way they leave you breathless is different.

Having said that, in general, i find a book more appealing than a good movie, maybe because the book is more an active pleasure whereas the film is a passive pursuit.

a good book. In a good book ,the characters and plot are well developed. You also have the depth of the vocabulary.

I'd have to go with movie on this one. It's not that I hate reading, but I'm just really slow at reading and it takes forever for me to read a novel and get everything out of it. I do agree with a lot of the positives of reading though. I guess I'm just lazy XD.
