I  like reading and movies about the same. But books always have the advantage in that you can read anywhere, anytime. At the moment I'm reading Mists of Avalon. Just read Holes. Want to see that movie. Holes is a fabulous kids book. Tried reading Windswept House, but finally skimmed through it as I wondered how it would turn out. Also just received Helen Keller's autobiography and the latest Harry Potter. Re: movies, my dad highly recommended Spellbound, unfortunately it seems to have already sped through the theatres here and I will have to wait for it on DVD.  Looking forward to Molly Ivine's book "Bushwhacked" and Al Franken's book "Lies...." that are coming out in September.
