Anssi's comprehensive Time Waste Management Plan®

Here's how I like to spend those hours not allocated to sleep:

The first essential time waster is light reading. I am a big fan of comics. Together with my better half we collect systematically Calvin and Hobbes,  Niilo Pielinen (Gaston LaGaffe), Asterix, Piko ja Fantasio (Spirou et Fantasio) and Tin Tin. I also enjoy Doonesbury, Gary Larson's Far Side and often Scott Adams' Dilbert. Sometimes those Dilbert cartoons unfortunately come too close for comfort. I work in an office, you know...

What comes to heavier, more serious reading  (i.e. the big, heavy, book-like things), I always go for relaxing stuff that only vaguely - if not at all - resembles academic reading . Whodunits by P.D. James, Georges Simenon, Erle Stanley Gardner and Donald E. Westlake seem to meet my criteria the best. Similarly, the world of Jeeves and Wooster and other works of P. G. Wodehouse fascinate me tremendously.

Last but not least, my greatest money drain: Collecting and (sometimes more often than) building plastic models.
