Reading is one of the best things you can do for relaxation. It's up there with listening to music and trips to the site which houses a sorrowful Chinese bear.

I try to get through a couple of books per month, although I'll admit that I've probably not been hitting that target this year. Unless you don't classify audiobooks as cheating, I listen to those on a daily basis. They certainly make 3am walks in the rain less depressing.

Audiobooks are bae.

Macho, listen to the original radio play from the eighties. Or watch the TV show. Or watch the movie. It's got Alan Rickman in it.

I should have a Harry Potter marathon one of these days

The shift from Chamber of Secrets to Prisoner of Azkaban was rather jarring, but in the end, I think it was for the best

Casual clothing over robes

And Emma Watson was quite nice to look at

Yeah, I've heard the movie's pretty solid. I'll give it a watch and branch out from there.

Well I can definitely agree with the music and arguably the trip (though I don't really indulge in the bear's site, specifically). Reading, though...it's pretty difficult to get me engaged.

It's actually pretty ironic, because it's easy to keep me engaged in game writing and specifically physical manga, but books? That's effort. Though I do get a fair bit of relaxation out of games and manga, so even those are better alternatives for me.

And it's not that I have anything against them, that'd be a pretty broad statement, I just...don't...like reading books. Generally. And as much as I think that people should read, I'm not really a fan of this idea that someone who doesn't enjoy reading books is suddenly this gross, uneducated savage that can survive only on instant gratification and visual stimulation that permeates throughout...several cultures. Fuck off society, people are different. Variety's great. Homogenization can suck it.

I read manga volumes pretty regularly. Good for if I want some no-screen time, since I probably average 12+ hours of screen time a day between work and hobbies. At my reading pace, it takes me about 45 minutes per volume.

Non manga and LN books are a different story since I basically haven't read any of mine since graduating high school, mostly out of not feeling it.

... which reminds me that I need to watch Deathly Hallows Part 2 at some point to finish off the Harry Potter movies.

And I thought you all cultured.

I never read it because I was put off by the cover of the beaten up copy my brother had that made it look like it was for kids while I was in my teens. And now I just can't be assed to find a copy.

I never read LOTR, either. Just The Hobbit. That was required school reading when I was 13/14.

And I have a couple of Pratchett books that I'm just being lazy about reading as well.

I've not even read much manga recently, just keeping up to date on a handful of things. Can't even remember the last one I completed.

Getting a job and having classes within walking distance from a bookstore makes reading manga a nice little luxury that I can take advantage of every now and again. It's nice.

Buuuut that in mind, I'm pretty much the same. I think the last manga I finished was School Rumble. So it's been at least 5 years.

My friends once bought me the entire HGTTG series on a single book. In English. Without having told them I wanted it. I cried.

Good gift.

Think it might be time for me to get into bed and find something comfy to watch on Netflix.
