I'm not really a fan of tie-in books. I like books. I like tv shows and movies. I'm not overly interested in them weaving in and out of each other. I think because I'm never sure what the canon is any more and because it means that you can never be quite sure which version people are thinking of. Also, when I'm watching something visual, part of the appeal is the visual, is the soundtrack, is the actors and books just feel lacking while, when I've come to something through books, I have an image of how things look that the show can never quite meet.

And yet I really like adaptations. But they're not trying to add to a pre-existing universe, they're trying to show a different version of the same universe. Tie-ins are like trying to augment a pre-existing creature. Adaptations are instead distinct discrete objects, they're a cousin of the original instead of trying to claim being part of the original.

I think this comment may have gotten away from me somewhere. :S

hehe no I get what you're saying! I like novelizations of visual media. Like I would KILL to have novelizations of all the Spartacus seasons. Just so I could consume it that way.

Because you want more of it?

Yeah and because sometimes I'd just like to sort of 'flip through' certain sections of the story and re-experience other parts and that's harder to do with a tv series. Also, I have to have the sound on the tv series so I can't listen to music at teh same time...stuff like that.
