I sometimes read books on my iPad.

When you read comic material and people aren't laughing how do you know they're listening.

Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it's just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it.

In the Netherlands now, I imagine it's legal to marry your own children. Get them pregnant, and you can abort your unborn grandbabies in a free clinic that used to be a church.

I just enjoy lying on the couch and reading a magazine.

I like nonfiction books about people with wretched lives.
