Everyone who does gets hooked.<br /><br />But we sort of have a love/hate relationship with Lost at our house.

Do you remember Ellery Queen with Jim Hutton? That was quite a fun show, too.<br /><br />My tastes right now run toward crime shows. I love Castle and Bones.

For me, TV offers a bit of escapism. Reading does offer the same, but something more. I love being in the parallel universe of a novel.<br /><br />Psych and Castle are two of my favorite shows. They don't stress me out and they crack me up.

I also feel like I get to make a lot of the "choices" when I read in just how things should look and sound. I enjoy that. And I get a good 10-20 hours out of a book.
