books-vs-movies

In literature, the reader standing at the threshold of the end of a book harbors no illusion that the end has not come__e or she can see where it finishes, the abyss the other side of the last chunk of text. Which means that the writer is never in danger of ending too soon__r if he does the reader has been so forewarned. This is the advantage a book has over a film__t is the brain that marshals forward the text and controls the precise moment of conclusion of the book, as the density of the pages thins. A film can end without you if you__e fallen asleep or, because you can__ wait any longer to use the bathroom, slipped out of the darkness of the theatre salon, and missed it. There will never be a form more perfect than the book, which always moves at your pace, that sits waiting for you exactly where you__e left it and never goes on without you.
