Are weeks now 14 days long? How did I miss that agreement?
Anyway, I consider books and games to be equally good forms of media.
On a slightly related note, I never really go t the point of analysing poems and plays in school. That stuff bores me to death.

Reading books or playing games? It depends on what exactly you are talking about. In terms of skills, being able to read is many times more valuable than being able to play a game. In terms of entertainment, I would say they are the same.

I took the questioner to mean “as a past time.” If that better explains the answer. And thanks for noticing Some Guy, they moved me to bi-weekly cause of summer slow down. Hopefully it’ll be back to weekly for the Holidays.
