Sorry.

>the book is always better than the movie

What an erroneous and pretentious assumption.

>mfw I didn't read a single word of a Harry Potter book and enjoyed the movies more than the fags that read it. Every single of of the people I have spoken to whined about the missing details, the depictions of characters didn't fit their preconceptions, etc.
>mfw people read for fun
>read for fun
>read fun

All trolling aside, and without trying to offend any autistic acne-ridden peasant; literature and books are dead.

>inb4faggots saying "BOOKS ARE NOT LITERATURE".

You know what I mean. Accept it.

I guess my point is this:

Why read when there are better options? There are, this isn't about taste; this is encoded in our DNA. Google this if you don't believe me. There's been several studies about aesthetics, taste, morality, etc.

The irony emerges from our also intrinsic tendency of being contrarian douchebags (i.e. hipsters) for the sake alone. So you might say "I read because I like it." Get real, scrub.

I have never read a book for the fun of it, we're not in the fucking 20's bros.

>inb4kidsquoting Huxley's Brave New World and how it spoke about these societal changes and defamed "the system"

Anyway, can anyone convince me otherwise?
