    I always enjoy reading books more! You can create your own concepts of what the book would be like while you are reading.

    I like watching movie best. Relaxing my mind better. Sometimes I am just too tired to imagine what I read. :)

    The books are always better. The movies never capture the depth of what the characters are feeling.

    Personally where a Great book is turned into a movie reading the BOOK will always be 100 times more better/entertaining than watching a movie!

    Ive felt this whilst watching the HP movies and Da vinci Code.

    I prefer reading a book over watching a movie. I like visualizing the scenes and situations.

    I read novels also (like The Alchemist).. reading books or novels are great because you will learned more than movies, but movies are more entertaining..

    Reading the book. Because movies they usually take out a lot from the books.

    Sadly it's movies. I'm having a hard time trying concentrate when I'm reading a book. And when I do I easily loose the grip. Books tend to be better though.
