Try it if you don't believe me :).

When it comes down to Entertainment like watching a movie or reading a book, most people grab the TV remote control quicker than you would think.

Lets see as to why they tend to go for Movies or TV shows than a nice detailed and interesting book :

The truth is that watching movies takes much less concentration and effort. In a world where people are looking for the easiest route to take, it makes sense that they would rather watch a movie than stimulate their brain intellectually. So, a great reason not to watch movies is to find something better to do with your time.

Reading a book often require more time than a movie. So if a person want to spend 1-2 hours for recreation he or she tend towards movies. But even if you read 100-200 pages of a book in that time it will be equally satisfying.

For most of the people the pre-requisite for reading is a peaceful environment. Which is often hard to get in a frustrating city life.

You can watch the movie in a group but u would be alone while reading.

Now lets look at some of benefits of Reading:

Reading is much better for everyone. Reading allows the mind to be more stimulated, more open, more thoughtful and you can actually learn a thing or two. Even when reading fictional books, you are intellectually tested more than when you watch a movie. In addition, most books are much less violent than today’s movies. So, if you want to have a more positive outlook on life, stay away from the negativity from movies and choose to read a book instead.

Books have no technological limits or budget constraints they are words and they can send us to boundless adventures.

Added advantages of reading books include good vocabulary as well as usage while the movies don't guarantee any of these.

Plus if you read lot u tend to develop your own thoughts and some day you may be good writer as well, but if you watch too many movies you won't become a good director. I will say, try it if you don't believe me :).

So Keep reading folks.... Special thanks to Potter to exposing me to a whole new world of books.
