Same here and at least there's no commercials in a book! One of my favorite authors now has 4 of her books turned into movies, I rented one and watched it last night. It was good but I believe the book is always better because you can let your imagination run wild. I plan to read the book of that movie and see if I'm right.
I prefer reading but I don't get the peace and quiet I desire so I can read, so I do more watching than reading.
I always read books. I go through several a week it seems like. My mom always called the television the, "stupid box". All I watch on TV is the news, Bloomberg / CNBC, and sporting events.
