About This Quote
Love books, by the way, way more than movies. Movies tell you what to think. A good book lets you choose a few thoughts for yourself. In this quote, the author is saying that a love of reading is more important than a love of film.
A movie will show you what to think about but it doesn’t tell you what to think or how to feel about it. On the other hand, a great book will let you choose your own thoughts and emotions about whatever is contained in the pages of the book.
