So I guess you're the opposite of me when it comes to reading books first or seeing the movie first. A while back I purposely read The Da Vinci Code a month or so before the movie came out just because I knew I wouldn't be able to enjoy the book once I saw the movie. Ironically I refuse to see the movie after reading the book so this whole point doesn't really prove anything. Although there was still a small inkling of me that wanted to see the movie still, but once I saw Tom Hanks' hair in the trailers I was a hundred percent sure I wasn't going to watch it.

What I'm trying to say is when I read the book it helps me decide if the movie is worth seeing. If I see the movie first, it's impossible for me to read the book no matter how good the movie was.

I wish it were the other way around.
