He really is...


Sandman is just...   ...   word's cannot describe ...

My reading went from random classics.....

Tom Clancy -> Michael Cricton -> Stephen King -> Neil Gaiman

I really should double check to see if Gaiman's zombie novel (or was it a comic) is out yet (nope, oct 20), tbh, I haven't read sandman yet. I (think) I purchased one of them... but I haven't had time to read it. I really should "collect" the rest.

Sandman is a 5 volume series, right?

You should also read Clive Barker and Richard Matheson if you like horror.....also yes Gaiman has done many good works (apart from sandman)....the first i read was stardust but then i read some of his classics.

In terms of sports I Box and have been doing BJJ for a few months.
I like to read a little bit of philosophy around 15 to 20 minutes a day. Any more and I am burnt out on it.
I also play video games.

Other then that school, eating, and sleeping take up the rest of my time.

I read a lot.  Burn throw a novel a week, sometimes faster.  You might even go so far as to say I'm addicted to reading.  If I don't have a book to read I feel every off, and get very cranky :P.  Other than that I rebuild computers, toy with computers in general, and play with a bit of programing.  Like to do a little bit of carpentry every now and then.  And of course lots of video games.

Collecting games, playing games, working on arcade machines, modding consoles, making random electronic shit like clocks out of bad hard drives and 3d printers, programming mostly in assembly, keeping my vehicles and equipment maintained, making costumes (mostly batches of cat ears, really), and most important of all, working because it's where money comes from.

Clive Barker is definetely not in the same level as Stephen King but as i mentioned before some of his works are pretty good......Jericho was a videogame...you may also mention Hellraiser an old movie...

Some of you cockfags needs to learn to combine hobbies.

A nice bit of alcohol and a book is nice at times. I prefer a little bit of beer and movies at times too. Numbing the pains of poorly made hollywood is nice. It also helps make it seem like you're not wasting your time.
