jcordova888 Some movies I've watched before reading the book, but which I enjoyed just the same, are "The Lovely Bones," "Stardust." and "The Notebook."

jcordova888 Most books nowadays are on pdf files. You can also read through your cellphone. For me, I get to squeeze in engaging or standout reads in between work because it serves as a form of relaxation for me.

jcordova888 Yes, there are movies that are great to watch, than if you were to read the book version, but there are lots of books, too, whose movie versions don't do justice to them.

jcordova888 Depends, I guess, on the book. I watched Disclosure and liked it (because of the famous lead stars). But others like Harry Potter and Memoirs of the Geisha are certainly good reads. I wouldn't prefer watching the movie first before reading the book in the...

jcordova888 Classic books made into movies are interesting to watch, I guess. As for me, I've read some classic books like Gone With the Wind and Tess of the D'Urbervilles and I think getting to know the characters through books is the best.

jcordova888 In my case, the actors & actresses who get to play the lead characters of stories based from a book lend "faces" to what I've read.

jcordova888 You have a point there. Movies need to cater to a large mass audience and get break even profits, I suppose.

jcordova888 Some people have become impersonal in dealing with others, that's true. They use their cellphones and social networking sites to express things that can better be conveyed in person. Too bad, isn't it?

jcordova888 Good for you... exercising restraint or moderation in all things is a virtue. It's great to be able to have a tool that you can use, though, when you need one.
