I think reading really requires creativity that is often overlooked. 
Really? How do you figure that?
In reading you have to create images from the words in the book which is something that you couldn't do without creativity. 
That makes sense. That's probably why I rarely like a movie made from a book I enjoyed.
They always seem to cut the most important scenes from the book too!
What movies have adapted books successfully, do you think?
I think Gone with the Wind did a phenomenal job. 
I've never read the book, but... It was incredibly long wasn't it?
It is very long. It was super popular in the late 1930's
And that's why they mad GWTW in 1939. Was that whole search for the actor to play Scarlett thing real, or was it just a publicity stunt?
