Which one do you prefer reading a book or watching? I prefer watching because I am not into reading book because after 30mins my eyes closing down LOL... When watching I don't need to imagine what was happening at the story.

Hi Health, i will still prefer watching. i love to read but it's kinda boring now. i enjoy much watching tv...it's more interactive and no need for you to imagine since you can already see things, happenings and events.

I like both. I like reading because I want to learn about english grammar. I want to better understand english, I want to write the words that I am not familiar with and look at it on dictionary. and I want my imagination move whenever I read. The story on the book is more complete than of movie when a book will be a movie.On the other side, I like movie, because as you said you will have not to imagine because you can see the visuals, but some of the movie is difficult to understand, well some of the directors are not feeding their viewers, they want their viewers to think what will happen next, we can see that type on suspense films. And what I want to in movie are their expression and the characters they portray, if the character is good looking that is a plus points. And if the effects are amazing you can really enjoy the film, compare to books.

I like to do both,it depends what mood I am in. Sometimes I prefer reading a book,that's usually when I want to think.Sometimes I prefer watching tv,that's usually when I want to vegetate after a hard day. Lately though I have been getting way more into reading then watching,I think this is because I don't own cable.

Out of the watching the tv or reading a book i must say that i prefer to watch the tv as i do not like reading.When there is nothing on the tv or nothing i want to watch on the tv i tend to come on the internet usually on this site.I prefer to be on the internet rather than watching the tv as i find there are alot more things todo on the internet.

I generally enjoy reading a book BEFORE the movie comes out. After reading I go and see the film to see if they portrayed the characters correctly and see how much they change about the story and scenery. It's really fun to do.
