Smart people read books. It's that simple. Show me one successful, clever or intelligent person who doesn't read books (and by successful I don't mean excuses for a human like Paris Hilton).
So, I understand your need to show us your muscles and how cool you are, but the truth backed by solid proof is somewhere else, sorry.

Either you're dumb or a pretentious faggot.

The movies I listed are better than the books they're based on.

I didn't say that movies are always better than the books

Kramerftw is a degenerate human being.


Your imagination is dead because you're filled with so much high fructose corn syrup, monosodium glutamate, and hydrogenated genetically modified soybeans you may as well explode...

Cause reading increases your IQ by up to 10 points in about 5 years and it increases your vocabulary by a shit ton and it helps with imagination so if you wana be an artist or a eniginer it will help alot
has for reading more then once well do you watch a movie more then once? Its the same thing with books its fun
