Well, it's kind of hard to decide for me. I defenitely play more video games than I read books, but that's where "quality over quantity" comes into the picture. Despite how fun a game may be, there's nothing like a good book to whisk you away with your imagination. Every so often, when I find a book capable of that, it becomes almost impossible to put down (Sometimes my mom even gets aggravated over it, and that's saying a lot, hehe). Unfortunately though, that's not all too often, and I usually have several games I'm looking forward to instead. Eh, they each have their moments, so it really depends on what I'm more interested in at that time.
Oh, and The Hobbit is one of my favorite books! It's definitely not as hard to understand as any of the books in The Lord of the Rings, though I still really like them too, hehe.
