I can’t say that this one reflects my experience. I’ve had my share of good days, including some ridiculously good days, but none of them has stayed with me as long as have the best books I’ve read.
Came here to say the same thing, Acilius =)
I agree with Acilius. I think it’s probably different for everyone depending on the art they’ve consumed and the lives they’ve lived, and possibly a little on various genetic factors modulating our brain chemistry.

I agree with both the above, some of the best books I’ve read have inspired me to do/design several different things. Some of which physically affects me every day. Others make the days good so a good book personally stays with me much longer and have brought about much higher level of enjoyment.

Ever been married? Had a child? Beats a book good.
should be a bar for “good morning webcomics.” thanks jessica!
i think this is more to do with the immediate emotional responses to these things, and in that case, its nice to see that the 3rd bar overshoots the y-axis scale as represented. :) :)

I agree that being married beats a good book, but I wouldn’t if the marriage lasted only one day. Maybe the weakness of the comparison is that a book grows in its influence on you after you’ve read it, while a real-life experience has to go on for a while to make a permanent difference for the better.
Very interesting, though I would say that emotional response is higher with a good book than a good day…at least for me.
A good book elicits a long, more thought-out emotional response, while a good day only has a small-lasting effect.
The relative scale of emotional response also rings true if the categories were bad book, movie and day.
g’day!
