Different things works for different people. Not everybody is a book person. Also, movies and TV does very well at complimenting life. However, the problem is that it too often replaces life for some people. The best we can do is to make sure we have a life first. Books, by the way, on the other hand, can be part of our lives in some ways that could be different than movies and shows can be. So, books truly are valuable. Interactive things can be.
