Content: In movies, you just watch the movie, as an observer. But, reading a book is a much more satisfying experience. You are not the observer but a participant. It is an intimate connection between the author's and your mind. Movies can never 'show' emotions unlike books, which an make you feel them. A book never begins without the reader's participation. A movie won't wait for you, a book will. A sense of wonder, certain descriptions of the author that immediately transport you into a different world. Sometimes you get that prickling sense familiarity of a certain place or a certain emotion. You paint the world of the author, with your brush.
