It seems that every modern, well-known author has a book adapted for film or video. To my way of thinking, these adaptations rob people of the ability to make pictures in their head.
No one needs use their God-given imagination anymore, instead the medium implants images from one person’s perspective into the minds of all those who watch, but who do not read. It’s all effortless; ready made references from a single source.
What would television be without moving pictures? Radio. What would radio be without sound? A book.
It’s time to start watching radio and turning up the books.
