Well, this is not something that I am normally confused about. Yet today I am unable to decide whether a book would be better or a movie? Suggestions invited! Now some of you might be thinking if I would really follow your recommendation? But well, did I guarantee??

It's your wish. I prefer a movie as I hardly read books nowadays

@Rashnag Action, suspense thrillers and comedies. Plus some war movies - especially of Hollywood.

Well, when I can have a quiet me time, I will go for a good book. But if I have to be among people and do something along with it, I prefer a movie. I never sit idle and watch a movie. My hands are still only when I am reading a book.

@arunima25 I now sometimes watch movies along with family and I try to see that we all watch it, free from other things. But when I watch myself, that is not always possible.

Well book has much more details, and usually when I read book and watch movie I get dissapointed coz I know all things they havent included. So if you want both maybe movie then book. But also if you watch move you will later imagine it all as seen in movie when you read book, and i guess its more interesting when you imagine it how you want :D So bottom line, I guess it depends on personal preference. But haven seen movie that was better then book, so far :)

@frenki Good opinion. Yet I do remember watching a movie that was more enjoyable than the book, although the movie did modified the story plot a bit. Have a great evening ahead.

That is a difficult question I love books, but I also enjoy movies. If I have to choose I guess I would say books because I love reading so much.

@Porcospino Yes at times, books appeal more to me than the movies.

Book... I am a reader more than a watcher... Plus to add, when we read we have our own set of interpretations... So you know a person making movie might have a different way of seeing than me ..
