Most of the people i know here in our place prefer to watch movies rather than reading books. They're always objecting my likes of reading for they told me that reading is a boring thing to do...But i enjoy it...How about you?

i do watch movies often but to choose between the two, i prefer reading coz it makes me more imaginative. what i read is based on what i understand in the book unlike in movies, everything is presented.

If the story is readable.. i mean interesting then i prefer books.. otherwise movies.. like for example Harry potter series.. the books are more interesting & informative than the movie..

Thou reding and watching movies both are my hobbie but I really enjoy watching movies in my spare times. I think it's a great way to relax and fun too.

I always prefer to go for a movie, as reading is not into me an it ddoes not help me to take me out from my heavier min to lighter. I would definitely like to watch a movie in my pass time.....

I like to do both, watch the movie as well as read the book, if there is a book. But i do prefer, to read the book. I think by reading the book you get the full story, while watching the movie alot of cuts are made to it. And I enjoy reading anyway

Books books books. For me, nothing is a substitute for my imagination. ‹(°¿°)›

I find more enjoyment from watching a movie. I can just sit back and relax. If I'm in the mood though, I can sit and read for a while, but this is quite rare. Going to the movies is a sociable thing to do, whereas reading is an individual interest you can enjoy.
