I Eric, Ed and all, I consider myself a bad reader. I couldn't say I have a favorite book nor a favorite song LOL Well, I read everyday whatever thing related to my daily routine, both at work or during my spare time. I read IT news, and some sport and general selected news, anything. I receive comics in my mailbox. I love the Wizard of Id, Archie and Pickles. I realized myself I don't have more time for my comics reading.
