wrong. unfortunately cinema & screen filled that void in the west. Proof? Fucking anyone knows about Star Wars, but has anyone read Nabokov's Lolita? Is there even a dozen persons here that read Madame Bovary?
I became increasingly jaded in my teen years when they started adapting Asimov's work for the screen, signaling the death knell of anyone being willing to read it.
Ultimate proof: find any woman of 30-35 years age, ask her if she's red any Jules Verne... then ask if she saw Around the World in 80 Days with Jackie Chan.
Fuck kiked out hollywood.
