Books are my favorite form of media. They seem to be the most complete projections of their author’s thoughts. In more expensive media there are many different influences that direct the media, while with a lot of books you can get away with just one author and one editor. It’s more pure and clear in that way. It’s also much easier for me to “get” books.
I do enjoy movies and television, but it’s a very different enjoyment. I can see how someone can prefer them, but I don’t. As for engagement and entertainment, I apparently have an average level of visual fantasy, and some novel scenes I have remembered for years. While reading I slowly stop reading words and start reading fully fleshed out scene, and my mind’s eye presents me with spectacle. It’s incredible and I love it.
