I read a lot of stuff too. Started to not have as much time throughout my years of growing up into a college boy. :-(

When was the last time movie was better than the book? From my experience, it's never.

"Better" evaluates multiple aspects. Movies will have aspects that aren't existent in books and vice versa. I don't know if I need to provide you with a particular example, but reading the Mission Impossible books was tedious.

I've never experienced this either. It's always been on a scale from horrific to it was ok but the book was better.

I used to read tons of the "Hardy Boys" series by Franklin W. Dixon.
It's about two adventurous young sleuths.

Other than that, probably "Ghost in the Wires" by Kevin Mitnick.
