    reading is an activity, watching is passive consumption. unironically, reading is very enjoyable to do. a good book > a good movie.

      >a good book > a good movie.
      but my attention span sucks unless I'm really into what I'm reading (rarely)

            Can confirm, it’s a really awesome way to experience it if you refuse to read.

      Books are for stupid people. Information can be more rapidly learned through other methods and its a worse way to tell any kind of story. Antiquated form of entertainment for boring people.

        Other way around. Movies are for the brainless. Books for those who think.

        if consumption is on a spectrum, reading is definitely more "active" than watching moving images with sound.

    It isn't though. Watching tv or film requires much more time abd is extremely boring in comparison.

    most authors take like 60 pages to get to the point because they want to inflate their page count
    and in that time you could have watched a really good movie.

    you sit back and the pictures move with sound and music. when reading a book, you have to do that yourself

    I honestly don't find reading anymore arduous than watching movies its why I always have subtitles on to make it easier to hear things during certain parts where voices might be drowned out by action.

    If you find reading hard then you are just genuinely dumb.

    its about finding books you want to read.

    i pirate them and put them on my kindle.

    I used to read a lot but now I have two small kids and two gay dogs and my wife is always being a c**t so sitting down with a book for like 13 hours undisturbed in a week isn't happening. Help me bros. I just want to finish the culture series and the rest of the pynchon novels I haven't read

    Some rich old boomers homosexual write their power fantasies and world views nobody gives a shit about and make it a 400 pages essay while it could have been just one.

      You're moronic. It's a well known meme that many authors who are now broadly considered classics/the greats died penniless thinking they were failures only to be immediately canonized. Herman Melville and Franz Kafka being two of note.

    Because you lack the necessary atention span, imagination and empathy/projection skill to be able to read a good book
    Watching movies is harder for me, having to consume media to a pace already set fricks me up because i like to read at my own speed, normally faster than a movie

    It takes more than ten hours to read a book opposed to watching a two hour movie.

    Because reading takes actual effort. Watching TV is basically the same as sedating yourself.
