I need to play Devil's advocate here for a moment and say YOU'RE WRONG about books! There is no piece of film existing, or that will ever exist, that can come close to the wonders of our imagination. The gradual decline of human intelligence over the last few centuries is specifically because we don't read and write as voraciously as we once did. You should revise this belief and READ MORE. Just my two sats... I'm a huge film fan as well, but books come first. Always.
Thanks, you are right. I'll rethink my beliefs.
