You’d be neither if you tried reading a book. Why, you can even read some online these days. :)

Of course he’s not a book worm - he’s an illiterate ant.

i’d say he was an ignor-ant

A.

And his get-up-and-go is a little stagn-ant.

They’re weird ants anyway. A colony of like, three.

The bad puns are running rampant this morning.

They are, kinda scary… Personally, I couldn’t live without books when I was younger… Still can’t… :D

Our cable went out. My wife was appalled when I suggested a book. I pointed out my newspaper and book club accounts were less than her cable. Oh well, the couch is comfortable

TV’s way too expensive for what I watch - but I need the satelite for my NFL Sunday Ticket. Otherwise a good book will beat today’s programming any time.

HURRAY….HURRAY>>>Read all about it!!!!!!!!

I hated reading and history as a kid. Now I can’t get enough!

Rakkav- books online….good ones….where?

the bad puns are ramp-ant?

If you want books and bad puns, may I suggest the Xanth series? More squishy rotten puns, including ant ones, that you will ever imagine. Of course, with close to 30 books in the series, it will keep you away from the TV for a while.

Hey! Who pulled the arms off of poor daddy ant?

@comicsnoob-

lots of old books here- http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/

baen books has a lot of their SF/Fantasy here- http://www.baen.com/library/

i read constantly (never go anywhere without a book), and decided to keep track, last year, of how many i read (because of something in the “interview” segment on Jeopardy). turned out i was averaging nearly 2 books a week. when my coworkers comment on my speed at crossword puzzles, i tell them it’s because i read so much my vocabulary is huge. i get antsy if i have less than a half dozen in my “new books” pile.

@comicsnoob:

In addition, “The Complete Works of Shakespeare”, the entirety of ElfQuest, the Aleppo Codex (Hebrew), the Codex Sinaticus (Greek), just to name those I’ve run across recently.

You’re desperate. You’re an ant.

@ yyyguy–“Antsy?” Trying to be a wise guy, are you?

I remember that time. Then I started reading classics and couldn’t stop.

@stargazer - Good question! Clasped behind his back, maybe?
