Is Art Limited?

[grizzle]

Are books really dying out? I've actually started reading more of them in the past year or so simply because there's rarely anything good on TV, and Hollywood these days typically only puts out crappy re-makes, straight-to-DVD's, movies about teen/20-somethings that somehow save the world, or somewhat decent movies made from best selling novels.

And if the only good movies these days are the filmic version of a book, and since nine times out of ten the book is better than the movie, I jump to the book first.
