Books are better than anything on the face of the planet. I read nonstop. You should read books. Seriously, they're the best. I like David Sedaris. Everything Neil Gaiman. Grant Morrison and Daniel Clowes comics. Seamus Heaney's Beowulf translation is pretty rad. DC Berman's poetry is good. Arthur C. Clarke is the best.
