I don't watch many movies at all, so that option's out. Given the choice between a good PC/video game and good book to pass away the time however, and I would actually go for a good game. (Please don't hurt me.) By this, I mean games with considerable length or replay value, where the imagination is infinite. RPGs, epics, action/adventure, etc.
However, an excellent book, one which haunts my waking hours and which causes me to bump into doors, one in which I suddenly develop an all-consuming interest for its genre or subject matter, I would prefer to an excellent game. I appreciate the levels of introspection and self-reflection that an excellent book can induce, as well as the subtlety and well-composed craft of an excellent book. There are many excellent games out there, but they usually result for me in more visceral feelings of thoughfulness and enjoyment -- very emotionally involving in many cases, but also more fleeting in their impact.
