Does anyone else rarely read "real books" or novels?

Everytime someone tells me about a "good" comic story, I can't help but sorta inwardly roll my eyes at the prospect, as sh*tty as that sounds. Kind of like when people talk about "good" video game stories.

Often TV shows and movies take a backseat to games for me, but reading is something I never stop doing. In fact at this point I think I probably read more regularly than I play games. I read every single day, but I can't say the same for games, or really any other kind of entertainment.

Written word is king, yo.

I also read at bedtime lol sounds kinda childish, but I always pick my book up and give it a good old gander.

I also read comics, something I actually got in to in my early 20s more so than when I was younger. Anyway, I can't imagine my life without reading a "real book" as the OP put it. I read one after another.
