Week Whatever - Reading for fun

I actually used to read a lot when I was younger. Tons. My mom would have to come in my room and tell me to stop reading because I stayed up so late doing it. Unfortunately, sometime around my junior year of high school, that wore off. Now, I barely ever read. But when I do get the time or make myself read, my favorite books to read are fantasy books. I always feel kinda dumb telling people, but hey at least my intelligence is high enough to have those books not include Twilight..... anyway. My favorite series of all time has to be the Wheel of Time series. It's a fantasy adventure series, very similar to the Lord of the Rings, but more in depth and frankly a lot more complicated (maybe why I stopped reading...). Almost every single one has been the #1 New York Times bestseller for at least a week, and it's definitely just. They are great. The most reading I do is probably either for school (boring) or on random websites. My most frequented website is called comicbookmovie.com , a news central for movies based on, you guessed it, comic books. I'm a comic nerd beneath the surface, to the point where yuppie Dark Knight and Heath-Joker obsessors bug me. It's very interesting, I like feeling one step ahead of the public in knowing about movies, like the next Batman movie, and Thor, and Captain America. I'm a movie buff, so it's a great site for me. I also like to read movie reviews and either be edified and enjoy them, or hate on them and get irritated (cough Ebert is off his rocker, seriously cough). Good stuff, but not particularly beneficial I guess. Maybe I should start reading more!

  4. Anything slapping Robin I find funny. But I enjoy a good comic book or two myself.
