"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

this is just a wildass guess but i bet the percentage of people who read on this board is higher than the average

i just don't feel the need to share what i'm reading as it's usually not something other people are interested in

Higher education with a focus on English lit has killed my most of my recreational reading.

And talking about required reading is sad.  Almost like talking about required fucking. 

I do steal time to read things I've chosen, but when I do, it feels like cheating, 

Personally, I've never been one for book clubs, (and I don't like to share my mistresses.)

 seriously

Ben:  "We've laid in a gala reception for your fair-haired boys tonight.  All of Twin Peaks' best and brightest."

Jerry: "We're holding it in a phone booth?"

 Pretty much true crime and autobiography's are all I read.

I have a really good one called: The Chronicle of Crime.  It's filled with actual newspaper articles on criminals, serial killers, and mass murderers from about 1800-present

yes art crumb is what happens when i try to list art spiegelman and then decide "eh i don't like him that much, fuck that" and then try to list robert crumb

it's saint patrick's day, there are going to be a few typos

no it's a visual medium that's pretty valid

it's a well-written and drawn story and deserves the pulitzer it won IMO but frankly it's just a very personal holocaust story. if you've read elie weisel's night or seen schindler's list or experienced some artistic interpretations of the holocaust in general there's not really a WHOLE lot to be gained by forcing yourself through it
