my birthday gifts to myself are these books, the first one is like a feminist zine with contributions from sixty women from 1975 for may day and i got it bc i opened it and it was something i could relate to and i felt cosmically aligned with the woman who sent it forty years ago, the second one is from 99 and an essay about biologism and gender and i’m not sure if i’ll agree w the conclusions but it seemed interesting, the third one is about how strikes are vital for workers rights and very sweden centered obvs but it was written by a lawyer and there’s loads to be said about swedish law changes and strikes so excited for that too….. and also a pretty bracelet in stainless steel

reading this weird west novel with a REALLY cool concept, normal guy's mind being teleported into a different body in a different world with the knowledge that this ISNT his body nor his world but he has the inherent memories of the body's previous mind. also its like the west but like... epace... very cool. so cool. but erm. jesud christ man. scritching my head. what's with calling women whores and the mc describes this lady he works with as like. the epitome of the male gaze or whatever, saying shit like. ohhhhaghg i cant look away shes so curvaceous. brother im gonna maul on your face. good story, just kinda. damn you wildly misogynistic, why are all the female protags obsessed with the MC. bro he aint shit. also stop talking about your dick man, its unbecoming

i get this with things like dracula, it works best in book form. dracula is essentially victorian 'found footage' and it works by looking like it's something that is being pieced together through multiple people's different letters and diaries and newspaper clippings and you can't really translate that into film very well, you don't get that same almost all over the place nature that comes through in the book. you don't get as much as a feel for who the characters are and how they view the world because in a movie you only really see things through one or two lenses.
it's the same with the book theif by markus zusak, it feels like it has to be taken slowly to get the time frame and how things develop correctly. we also dont get the interjections from death, which in the book are very important to the narrative. you also don't get the same symbolism with the colours. in the book you seethe symbols of a red square,the white circle and the black sw@stica which you dont see in the movie and that moment with death at the beginning is so important to setting up the story.
in both cases you also have to cut out a lot of important moments because movies dont tend to be more than an hour and a half to two hours long on average so you can't fit everything in and you lose a lot of things that can be integral to understanding what you're watching.
that's not to say that everything is better as a book. there are plenty of things that work better on a screen or stage than they would as a book, these are just two examples of things that do come across better in writing
I firmly believe that some stories can never be translated into a different medium and that's okay
