A BOOK or a MOVIE? which do you choose, for Escapism or Rela

[suzy1124]

I choose a flick for relaxation, and a book for escapism...

how about you ?

I always choose book for both relaxation and escapism. I rarely watch movies. If I need a break, I surf the net.

I absolutely love reading but I also throughly enjoy movies. I always choose to read the book first then watch the movie and ultimately the book always wins my favor.

I usually use books for both relaxation and escapism, unless I am relaxing with my husband and/or kids then I will watch a movie with them.

Lately, " Dexter " is providing both escapism AND relaxation...still hooked! and still fully engaged...what can i say other than that this flick " has the whole package ! "...love, love, love it!

I choose a book for escapism and relaxation. Books are so much easier for me to become absorbed in and that is what I am looking for when I want to forget about the real world for a while.

Good to escape from the " real world " every now and then........a good book / movie sure beats boozin and / or druggin...

I will always choose a book. Don't watch much on TV or at the movies but do occasionally enjoy seeing a good book made into a movie if they do a good job of it. So often they leave too much out or change it to make it commercial.

I definitely prefer books to movies except for science fiction. I don't mind giving up a couple of hours of my time to watch a sci-fi movie, but I don't want to invest the time that it takes to read a book in that genre.

Books rule. I hardly ever watch TV and I find most movies not so great. Rarely do I watch a movie after I've read the book. IMO, they are never as good and I am always disappointed.

[Timea]

I like to watch a movie and read every day... I always watch a movie or a show in the morning and then, before I go to bed I always read

[anomalocaris]

Movies and TV for escaping, books for learning about history or science.

[speedesch2]

Books, books, books! Nothing beats relaxing with and escaping into a fab read.

[mandap24]

I definitely use both.
Books I use more for escapism. But I still love ending my night with a chapter from a good book, it eases me into sleep.
I use movies for relaxation mostly, sometimes I just have them on while I'm eating or on the internet doing other things.
There are some movies I can really escape into and for that I can't do anything else I need to focus only on the movie. This is usually when a movie has a good story of course.

Odds are better for finding a " decent " book than a movie, sad to say...Hollyweird just " doesn't get it "
