1. Music
2. Comics
3. Movies
4. Books

Actually, it's a bit difficult to rank these four cornerstones, I spend a lot more time on movies than comics, but I get more artistic satisfaction from comics. I might have reached a saturation point with movies now, have seen about 10,000 of them. Books are fine too, but take more effort, and I am lazy.

What I really like, though, is movies about Comics, and then comic book adaptions
of movies, and books about comics, and music where they sing about comic book
and comic strip characters.

At this stage of the game I would have to respond:

1. Music

I just don't love enough contemporary comics, movies or books to measure. Maybe a couple of comics a month, a couple of movies a year. But music, I'm still as enthusiastic about as when I was young.

I'm relatively speaking culturally impoverished, but consider that the average person only has a passing interest in any of those things.Many of the people on this forum are obsessives about one or more.
I don't read any major works of literature though. :?

Brotoro's got the "DBU" logo on his belly AND a Devo hat on his head! Too insane for words.

If we're talking about prose, then I read mostly non-fiction. I might pick up a spy novel or an historical fiction novel once in a great while, but not often.

I figure that non-fiction books still count as books, though.

Music still #1
Movies a solid #2
Magazines #3 (don't do books)
and never collected comics.

1. Music
No. 1 in a landslide. Music is with me at home, at work, at the gym, in the car. It's the ultimate companion. There's something about discovering new music that feels differently than discovering a new comic, movie or book. On top of that, I still scour the web weekly for '80s remixes to add to my '80s music database. (As I type this, I'm listening to an extended instrumental of Rick James' "Give It to Me Baby.")

2. Comics
An on-going fixture in my life as I still read them weekly, though they don't hold my interest like they used to.

3. Movies
Still enjoy movies, but I usually see fewer than 10 new ones a year. My interest in moving pictures has shifted to TV dramas in the last five years. When comparing shows like Breaking Bad, Dexter, Justified and True Blood to a movie world dominated by remakes and overblown blockbusters, it's a no-brainer that my attention resides more with TV.

4. Books
Though I still read regularly, I prefer magazines and material online to books.
