[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Escapism and entertainment.

TV has slowly become dominated by crime shows or reality shows. I don't find that relaxing, which is what I want at the end of the day. Also, during the pandemic, I learned how wonderful it is to be taken out of the present day. I fell in love with character-driven books with historical settings.[/quote]

I agree with this. And I was talking to my wife about my love/hate relationship with audio books. I've heard some audio books that I had already read, and the speaker's interpretation of a given person is not how I had pictured them. In the same way, when I see a movie adaptation of a book, sometimes they just totally distort the mental image I have of the world. People say that's how the author wanted it to sound/look and I say IDGAF. This is my fantasy world that I'm escaping to and if I want to picture the librarian as the old lady I grew up hating then let me. Don't ruin that for me cause Hollywood wants to cast some 25 year old fresh out of college with glasses trying to look like she's a grandma. [/quote]
