I find literature the most enlightening thing in life. I'd rather read a good book than ... well, do anything else actually. As for movies, it seems like most movies are being made for pure entertainment. Nothing wrong with that, but I find such movies shallow and uninvolving to watch. In fact, I haven't seen a good film in ages.
Maybe the fact that a book is in general the creation of a single mind, is what makes a book (for me) more "powerful" as a means of expression than a movie. Moviemakers have to deal with a lot more factors and make more concessions because there's so much more money at stake. Which is why some of the most refreshing films in recent years are small budget productions.
