It's been ages since I've read a book. Don't remember what it was! Why read when you can wait for the movie instead, if it's a good book
I read a few hours everyday, my favorite thing to do. The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini - Awesome book! - for me Star Wars Jedi Apprentice for my boys Sleeping Beauty (for the 762 time this week) for my daughter
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, and before that Schwarzeneggers New Encyclopaedia to Modern Bodybuilding - both great, eye-opening reads - obviously one is more reference than the other, although some of Dawkin's more hardcore fans would deny that fact!
You're right but books are far better than movies made on them. The one I'm reading these days, an Indian movie was made on it a few years back by the name '1947'...I didn't watch it then but now I plan to after finishing the book
