The Book Game

About a week ago I was trying to convince The Boy that it is important to read.  He and I actually got into a pretty heated discussion over the importance of knowing how to read well and reading books.  He was informing me that he is going to be a movie director when he grows up and he doesn't need reading to do that, he just needs to watch tons of movies and the extras discs (lol, so niaeve).  So I was trying to get him to understand that there is TONS of reading involved in college, not to mention that he will have to read scripts.  And most movies come from books.  He didn't believe me, thus the Book Game was born!
   Here is how it is played: He has to name a movie that did not come from a book, history event, or comic book, or one that is based on a book such as Monty Python's Holy Grail which is based on the story of King Arthur.  in the middle of the heated discussion of trying to prove the other person wrong, we realized that we were actually having fun and a really good discussion came out of it.  He came up with two more rules:  the winner is the first person to get to 10 points.  If he names a movie that is a book, I get a point.  If he names one that is not a book, he gets a point.  Rule # 2: If he names three in a row that are not books, I lose a point.  If he names three in a row that are books, he loses a point.  he won round 1, but I won round two.  Round two had a twist, the same rules applied, but I had to name books that were movies.  If I failed, then he got a point.  That was more difficult than I thought because I could not repeat any titles from round one and I had to choose movies that he would know so that he could play along easily.
  It really is fun, maybe I can figure a way to make it into a board game or a card game!
