To read or not to read that is the question....

Seeing Summer Reading starts here at the library next week I often ponder the title of this post....to read or not to read. Why do some people watch the movie rather than reading the book? I have found that the book is sooooo much better than a movie ever could be. The drescriptiveness, the real story, the intensity is real and there when you read the book. If you watch the movie, you lose the author's purpose for writing the story as the movie makers are out to sell the movie and add or delete things to keep it interesting and entertaining to the viewers. Basically, they add the drama that some authors just don't have in their novels. I always read the book and sometimes will watch the movie after, but I still have a thing about television seeing Geico has dramatized one of my relatives....the gecko.

Hope to see you all next week to sign up for the Summer Reading Program, "Be Creative at our Library" with me!!!!
