simultaneously read a book and watch a movie?

nope, but I do know that if you go to the theatre and sit in the front row with your copy of Hamlet and follow along, line by line and page by page, eventually a pissed-off actor will snatch the book from your hands and fling it down the vom....I heard about it happening at Stratford (Canada, not England!)! Ahhhh....Wish I'd been there to see that!

I s'pose you could always get the book on tape and play it in your Walkman at the cinema.... [dead serious-e]
