Watching movies or Reading Books - what is Better

Watching movies or Reading Books - what is Better?

 

Answer to the above question is very simple and easy. No one can deny that reading a book is better as compared to watching movies. Especially nowadays when movies are easily available on internet from site likes Tamilrockers, Movierulz ms and 9xmovies. But Reading books gives knowledge and factual data whereas movies are just for fun even though some movies contain information and knowledge but they are highly exaggerated from realty.

 

Start Reading Books from today.

2015 Reading Challenge

I have found my challenge for the year. Aside from reading 90 books in 2015, that is.

 

I'm going to do Book Riot's 2015 Read Harder Challenge. Here are the details:

 

There are 24 tasks in the Read Harder Challenge (or roughly two per month). You can tackle them in any order, make any changes, do them all in a month or spread them out over the year. Make the challenge yours!

 

A book written by someone when they were under the age of 25

 

A book written by someone when they were over the age of 65

 

A collection of short stories (either by one person or an anthology by many people)

 

A book published by an indie press

 

A book by or about someone that identifies as LGBTQ

 

A book by a person whose gender is different from your own

 

A book that takes place in Asia

 

A book by an author from Africa

 

A book that is by or about someone from an indigenous culture (Native Americans, Aboriginals, etc.)

 

A microhistory

 

A YA novel

 

A sci-fi novel

 

A romance novel

 

A National Book Award, Man Booker Prize or Pulitzer Prize winner from the last decade

 

A book that is a retelling of a classic story (fairytale, Shakespearian play, classic novel, etc.)

 

An audiobook

 

A collection of poetry

 

A book that someone else has recommended to you

 

A book that was originally published in another language

 

A graphic novel, a graphic memoir or a collection of comics of any kind (Hi, have you met Panels?)

 

A book that you would consider a guilty pleasure (Read, and then realize that good entertainment is nothing to feel guilty over)

 

A book published before 1850

 

A book published this year

 

A self-improvement book (can be traditionally or non-traditionally considered “self-improvement”)

Take a look at old time book advertisements
Read Me: A Century of Classic American Book Advertisements - Dwight Garner

A fascinating thing is that many of the ads are for writers who we know as classic, canonical, famous, etc. Even folks like Steinbeck, Updike, and Kerouac had to start somewhere.

 

Click on the link for the full review and check out a bygone time where books were sold via advertisements, long before bloggers and Amazon.

How to Read a Book

Another great posting by the website The Art of Manliness.  These guys have been inspiring me for a over a couple of years now on how to better myself as a man and they seem to put a lot of emphasis on reading.  They look more to teach culture than anything and both men and women can learn from its archives but it is ultimately geared toward men.
