Books are not nessarily "better" but they do offer a range and depth of diversity not found with television, allowing for people like us who have eclectic (Note: eclectic is not "better") tastes a chance to find and enjoy what we like.

If you are upset with what the broad audiance considers to be "truth and Beauty" then I suggest you read a book. You are more likely to find what you consider "truth and beauty" there, simply becouse of the mediums breadth of diversity.

I haven't noticed that. In general, the popular books--the ones you're likely to find--have approximately the same level of diversity as my TV. There are several bookshelves' worth of Chicken Soup for the Souls and cheesy romances and Dean Koontz's 50,000 ripoffs of himself. It seems to me I'm about as likely to find a new Firefly on TV as I am to find a new Speaker for the Dead at a bookstore.

FOX isn't creatively inclined. They cancel all manner of good shows. I hate FOX.

Isn't Speaker for the Dead pretty much in every bookstore with books. (Cuz, y'know, there are those book stores that only sell cofee.) Speaker is a pretty recognized book (although I haven't read it cuz I hated Ender's Game).
