books are great, but to make a scene where it actually shows the tension or emotion that the book is going for is not a easy task either, but if i had to choose, id choose movie b/c im lazy

yes but then you have to return them and if you're late then you pay. And I have never returned a book on time.

depends, books are more detailed and movies generally deviate from the original story. if you are asking which would i rather do, read a book or see a movie I would see a movie. but if you are comparing a book and a movie based on a book, i would rather read the book first then see the movie afterwards, only to be disappointed by what i have just said oOo:

I just like a good epic story. Books are usually long enough to where you can get that, but movies generally are too short. Unless you have a long set of movies, like Star Wars.

Depends on the subject matter: I want to read my psychology, math and
philosophy while I prefer watching drama, action and suspense/sci-fi. It's
all about the subject...
