Also, the people who always insist that "the book was better" are ablest AF and I will die on this hill.

@faithisleaping@anarres.family I won’t say better but I will say different. Books take way more time and you have to step away between sessions. For me, words hit more often than visuals and I love a good turn of phrase. Or breadcrumb writing that comes together after weeks of reading a novel. Again, it’s subjective but I think reading is the closest way to inhabit someone else’s consciousness that we have. Audiobooks exist too and are totally different for me. Hearing lines voiced and intoned can open up totally different meaning than what I get from my monotone in my head reader voice. But I also love movies! Good art is good art!
