Women: Can they drive?

[jelgate]

Women have always thought they can drive. They can't but that doesn't stop their thinking

[Ian-S]

They read it in a book so believe it blindly

[squirrely1]

But I can't read either!

[jelgate]

Old Man Annoyed must be your father then

Why can't he read either?

[jelgate]

Because he is uneducated

[Anja]

Usually, yes.

I agree as far as Michael Crichton's books are concerned or Harry Potter - although I do like the movies as well.

[jelgate]

Some TV shows or movies are good. That doesn't take away the facts of the books are better

[Annoyed]

Sadly, I have to agree with jelgate here. Most of the time, the books are better.
I used to enjoy reading the book version and then seeing the screen version, but I just don't have the time for reading anymore. Like it or not, unless you're an Evelyn Woodhead scholar, seeing a movie in 2 hours is alot faster than reading the book.

This is what I'm talking about. Why I don't read either mainly it's a time issue.

[jelgate]

And because you physically can't read?

[Ian-S]

Can't read, can't drive, is there anything a woman can do that doesn't involve being chained to the sink, cooker or bed?

[jelgate]

We have to chain them to the laundry machine

There's been imo very few films better than the novel, but there has been some. Heck there is a website listing what in THEIR opinion are the top 50 films that were better than the novels..

What about Die Hard?

...What? You didn't know it was a book first?

The Lord of the Rings looks exactly how I imagined it would Especially the Shire and Bilbo's house
