书好看还是电影好看，这一直都是备受争议的一个问题，哈皮和毛拉却在这个问题上达成了一致，他们都喜欢看书。
Sample transcript 1
Maura: I also like to read when I’m commuting 2. Now, right now, with my job, I don’t commute 3 and I can’t read on the way. But in the past when I took the bus to work I really liked to read on the way there, especially if it was a good book because it just made the time enjoyable and pass really quickly.
Harp 4: Yeah, I do that every day, I take my book with me on the bus and the metro 5 and it makes the time go by so fast. Now Maura, let’s go to our next topic of book to movie adaptation.
Maura: There are so many great books that have been turned into movies and it almost seems like a trend lately that Hollywood is taking books and making movies out of them.
Harp: Yeah, definitely. And I think that there are varying degrees of success. I think there are so many movies from great books, but the movie isn’t really good.
Maura: People always talk about that too. After there’s a movie made about a book and many people have read the book, they always ask, “so, was the movie better than the book or was the book better than the movie?” and I would say almost all the time, people enjoy the book better than the movie.
Harp: One hundred per cent, I agree with you. It is very rare for me to see a movie after I have read a book and think the movie is better than the book. I can think of a couple of examples, but typically I like the book better..
