These days, there’s so much mass-market entertainment available that many people don’t bother having hobbies anymore. It’s a bit sad: ask the average young person what they do for fun, and you’re likely to hear some variation of the following: “Partying,” “hanging out,” or “I dunno.” But now that bars and theaters are getting pricier and the recession is spreading, it’s time for us to start enriching our lives with hobbies that don’t cost a lot - and might even help us save money.

If you’ve been looking at getting into e-books and other post-post-modern forms of literature, Kwanzoo has a new quiz just for you.
