I don't think people are saying anything like what you think we are.

Reading a book won't destroy social life, yes it is just "easier" to watch the blockbuster film that comes out later in life but you still miss hell of a lot of detail and different things. The lovely thing is that blockbuster films tend to get people into reading in the first place! I didn't hear about The Hunger Games until I saw a trailer for it, my taste in books usually doesn't send me to the teen section in Waterstone (not that it is a bad section just my tastes are in the fantasy section so that is where I go) so I'd have never picked that book up if I hadn't been taken to see the movie and fell in love with it. So that right there is proof that adaptations aren't the root of all evil.

But it still doesn't hurt to pick up a book once and a while does it?

And I hope you aren't saying anything about my lifestyle! Books saved my life, when I was down (being a recluse for two years it happens you know) I never thought about killing myself I went to books and burried myself into a fantasy world. Is it healthy? People say no I disagree, when I was forced onto a course to help me find work I treated it like a quest and drew strength from a book and had it in my bag with me at all times to give me strength. The book saved my life, yeah I still don't like social things but that is personal taste and it isn't wrong of me to dislike it!

Off the top of my head the main one is that I always thought Nigel Planer would make a great Rincewind, Sir David Jason was always too short and chubby to be him (not that he did a bad job of course!) I'd have to think about that one and get back to you tomorrow!
