Literary Enchantment

Many people claim they hate reading. If thats the case then can anyone explain to me this, if reading is as wretched as people make it sound, then why are there so many movies that are based off of books? The greatest complament an author can recieve is that someone wants to make their story come alive by creating it into a movie. Movies have broadened the audience that books alone could never have reached. If you think about the great top selling movies, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Twilight, all of them are based off of books that great authors have written. The ability to write and captivate people to the point of consumption and indulge them fully into the story to the point where they feel for the characters destiny, is a talent that most film directors cant quite grasp. Because peoples imaginations cant be displayed no matter how much money is spent on the film. Your imagination is Priceless. Even with the sudden crazy in making Marvel superhero movies, lets face it comic books are still books. And what everyone has been thinking is why in the world would they remake spiderman (again)? Ah i just dont know... anyways I love to read and think all people should pick books for themselves before sterotyping all books as borring just because teachers pick bad books. If you go to the bookstore and look around you really will be amazed at all the vast selections they have. I know my mind was blown when i was in the bookstore the other night, people actually go there for leisure and spend hours there. Yeah the thoought did cross my mind that maybe they are super cheap and wont buy the book so they just loiter and read it there. But for the most part people looked like they were enjoying the books, not just the coffee :) So i guess what im saying is that dont judge a book by a crappy movie and if you hate to read then why are you reading my blog? Is this a waste of time maybe ha just maybe. But like me, authors write some good things sometimes so why not give them a chance. Go buy a book!
