I just can't imagine not reading fiction; it's just my default state of  
being.

Well they do sometimes put quizes on the back, or mazes; mazes are fun ;-)

Personally I avoid reading cereal packets. It's an odd quirk but at that  
time in the morning I really don't want to know what makes up the contents  
of my breakfast; or for that matter which irrating personality is  
endorsing it and telling me what I should be eating with it, how I should  
be eating it, and what I should be doing before and after eating it and  
basically making me feel bad about just dumping it in a bowl with some  
milk before conveying it from bowl to mouth with a spoon in an feeble  
attempt to gain consciousness prior to the coffee hit.
