if u had to give up one of these pastimes?

sxt

Reading books ,watching films ,or listening to music

I think is is easier to imaginate words and pictures then audio, therfore I would have to choose music

Listening to music. I'd miss it dreadfully but I'd miss the others more - also reading books is very beneficial for the noggin. And I'd watch lots of stuff with great soundtracks.

Ten of Swords

Films, probably the least fulfilling of those 3 choices

Where are the options for listening to books and reading music?

Films, I'm too much of a book nerd and music lover to give them up

RMAOK

Films based on a book about music

I'd give up the films then - couldn't cope without books or music

Films , books and music stay .

Books

I am always surprised by the amount of pepple who prefer books over films, I find it so much more engaging seeing real human emotion in the flesh on screen than written on a page , no matter how well its written. Of course some books are very enjoyable but Id nearly always pick a film over a book.

A world without music would be shyte tbh, I'd prob pick movies.

Movies are rarely as good as the books anyway so there's that too.

Most films of books are poor versions of the books. That's why.

I'd give up films.

No interest in reading books so very easy choice is to give up books, haven’t read one in years*. They are just spoilers for the tv shows or movies that get based on them anyway.

Music I listen to for hours a day and I love films also and watch loads of them.

*I listen to audio books but only factual stuff, never fiction so I see them more as audio documentaries than books. I wouldn’t have read the book if there wasn’t an audio version.

Music is out of the question, so between books and films, it would have to be films.

Films. Have about 150 DVDs/BDs but probably go months without watching any sometimes and I've been to see 4 movies in the cinema in the past 6 months which is way, way above my normal average

Have probably 800 CDs (and Spotify) and 2000 books and would listen every day/read most days.

Films.

After the apocalypse I’d still be able to read books and play music. Would have to wait till somebody put a functioning electricity supply together before I could watch a movie again.

So, movies it is. But only in case of apocalypse.

AllForIt

I couldn't possibly give up film as other here have said would be their first preference to do without.

I agree that it's hard to find a really good movie these days. To much sci-fi and not enough thrillers. That is why I often source out old classic's I've never seen (thanks Internet, big TV's and reformatting of old movies to HD). But I have so many movies I love to watch and I watched them them and again. I'd guess I've watched The Silence of the Lambs over 20 times, maybe once a year on average.

I love Film, it's not just the plot, it's the cinematography, the score, the acting, the emotion, and when combined together it's quite the experience.

I've never been a great novel reader. I'm more into reading educational stuff. I don't really have the patience for a lengthy book and find myself speed reading and not absorbing it fully. It's not that I don't get the enjoyment of reading a novel but I just personally would put the experience below that of watching film and listening to music.
