haha well i read before bed when i have nothing else to do. if i spend thirty hours of my time on a book, who the fuck cares, thats thirty hours i would be doing nothing anyways, and i enjoy a good book much more than a good movie. call me a nerd or whatever i dont give a fuck, but if you ever read the book fight club i think thats a good enough example. or even fear and loathing. both are good movies, but great books, so i personally would rather spend the time reading the book instead of the "convience" of a movie. and to your second point, i buy books at thrift stores. two bucks a piece, so now i already saved eight dollars, plus the food that i always end up buying, and i dont have to drive anywhere to read. the closest theatre to my house is around twenty five miles. besides, i would rather go for a fucking hike than watch a movie, or save my money for a concert. so yeah, i guess i thought about it a little.
