Yes. I read over 100 books a year, some years over 200, mix of fiction,
non-fiction and tech stuff.

4 books a week is a lot. I bet you could get a reader badge for that.

If we're restricting this to fiction, I can
safely say that I've never seen a movie that was better than the book.
If you feel differently, this may well reflect differences in what you
& I read. There's no movie I've ever seen that hasn't butchered the
book's plot and character development in an attempt to get it small
enough/simple enough for a film. Maybe if your reading taste runs to
generic Westerns and the like, this isn't a problem. Not much plot to
cut down.

Nope, never read Westerns.

Have you seen Blade Runner?


No. Nor have I bothered watching Terminator, Die Hard and other such
ilk. Life's too short to waste it on such crap.


Have you read the book Blade Runner was based on?
If not, then how do you know the film and/or book is crap?
