Agree so much. This turning ones nose up at the mention of TV or going to the movies is just another form of snobbery to me. Next step is what you read THAT and not the classics.
I love a good story, sometimes it is best told as a movie, sometimes as a book. I have to say What I like to read in general I hate to read and vice versa.
I adore Star Trek, but would not read it. I love action movies, but the thought of reading say Jack Reacher books has me running the other way. Noe would i read The Hangover books but I loved the movies.
If it is spending time with my Husband most times it is tv or the movies, we are then interacting as we do both know how to hit the pause button, and do that a lot LOL. If it is a movie we go to dinner as well and talk about it.
When it comes to books, he is a reader BUT reads way way slower than me, so I have to shut up and not give spoilers. Game of Thrones is driving me nuts at the moment, he has only just started book 3 whilst I have finished them all.
