How is that even the same? Getting head is always better than reading about it. But as far as entertainment goes nothing is worse thrn when the show does wack shit that wasnt in the book.

Here to point out the illogical
It is not over rated or under rated. Just a classic art form. Some people can learn or focus with audio and/or visual stimulation and some can do it with just text. Nothing wrong with either. With a book, it forces you to use imagination and that depends on how well the author describes a scene. I like books, though tend to read Stephen king mainly. When people say the book is better then the movie, that stems from original stories being changed drastically. Some people may be pretentious but others really have a problem with how much a story is changed. I will include comics in this as well. The dark tower series was a 7 book series and the movie took some characters and places from the book and pretty much made their own story up, which had little to do with the book.

No reading is not overrated. You simply retain more knowledge, learn more, challenge your mind, think more and literally stimulate a different part of your brain that watching a documentary, listening to music, or watching a speaker does not accomplish. Simply put: would you prefer a lawyer who knows the law because they read it or watched a documentary? Would you prefer a doctor or astronaut that researched through books and experience and passed the tests or someone who is illiterate but tells you he saw it done a bunch of times? Almost every pioneer in the higher form of arts from music, to engineering, to movies, to science and technology studied from reading. There is a huge difference from a person who reads the cliff notes versus the person who read the book. Doing it as a hobby strengthens the brain like cardio to exercise. Sure you can exercise in different ways, but the person who adds cardio to their workout is better off than the person doing the same exercises minus cardio. -Don't mean to sound like I have a tone in my statement. I really don't.
Usually it is not hard to see someone who is well read versus someone who is giving information quoting youtube, wikipedia, talkradio, or documentaries as their source material. You can read about the physical effects reading novels or long form books has on the brain. It physically reshapes it long term; even after a person is done reading for days. It effects the left temporal cortex, an area of the brain associated with receptivity for language. I'll let you read more on that.
