Heh, I just asked this same question to another member in a PM. They'll think I'm a thief now.

Anyway, a good book is as entertaining as any other medium, and can sometimes be even more involving than a TV show or film, since it has a direct connection with your imagination. The trouble is finding a good book in the first place, since the majority of things I read nowadays are rather disappointing. That's why most of the titles on my bookshelf are worn out through repeated reads. Still, Christmas is normally a good time for new reading material, so there should be a lot to read over the coming weeks.
