The most basic of hobbies...reading books? Nothing wrong with bookworms.

 

[Quintessence]

YOU FORGOT CROSSWORD PUZZLES.

*evil frowny face*

And other word games.

 

[R34L1TY]

I would disagree with the majority of those.

Perhaps Chess, Theology, Philosophy and Learning Languages. But the rest of them do not seem fitting.

How about Reading? Or Learning an Instrument?

That reminds me, the stacks upon stacks of logic puzzle books my mother has. All kinds of puzzle books actually, but the logic puzzle ones always seem to be her favorites.

Chess, stratego, othello, texas hold'em poker, reading, writing, etc.
