- Books- I've never really been into books. I have read books that I really liked but I'll usually never go out and get a book to read in my spare time. If manga goes in this category then I spend a lot more time reading that than anything else. It's not that I dislike books or anything but I prefer something more visual than just words to read.
- Newspaper- I don't read the newspaper. I only check the ads section every Friday or Saturday to see what sales are going on but that's about it. I know I should be reading it because there is so much there but the internet has made it so much easier and convenient to get so much more information on the topics they list.
- Magazine's- I don't subscribe to any magazines but I'll pick up and read one when I'm at the dentist or anyplace like that. I do buy some special editions of certain magazines. For example I recently purchased a reissue of Life magazines biography of Audrey Hepburn.
- Movies- I love movies. I've been a film buff even since high school. Genre's don't matter to me, I'll watch anything that looks interesting. I took a film class for two years in high school and for a long time I thought that's what I would major in until I recently changed it to journalism. I usually help my friends with production of short films they work on so it's a big passion of mine. I don't watch as many films as I did a few years ago but I still pay attention to the media and I always look forward to some good work.
- Recordings- Music is huge in my life. I'm pretty sure if my computer's hard drive ever crashed and I lost my entire collection I'd probably cry for days. Ever since I was ten and I started going online to listen to music it's been a huge part of my life growing up. I was born in India and moved here when I was five, so music really helped me master English in a way.
- Radio- I usually never listen to the radio. I don't like most the music they play so I just stick with my own. I also don't listen to any news stations so I almost never have it on. It's never been an important part of my life so I can't say I have any memories of it.
- Television- Another huge part of my life growing up and even now. I still remember when my parents first got cable. It was after I came back from spending my summer in Canada and it was amazing. These days I don't watch too much live television but I do watch several shows but I think in the future I won't have a need for cable because everything I watch will be online.
- Internet- Easily the biggest time consumer in my life. Everything I listed above is available on this source. I get everything here, films, music, anime & manga, television, news, books. I've been going online since I was nine and it's crazy how much it grew since then.

I guess Manga counts as books.
