Damn, internet access restored too late for me to be the first to suggest graphic journals. However, whilst the genius and accessibility of Joe Sacco should never be under estimated, surely the first recommendation should be Maus by Art Speigleman. If I were allowed to put one book on the national curriculum, then this would be it.
Other than that, I have found graphic novels quite a good antidote to reader's block. Alternatively, just do something else intellectually stimulating instead. Visit galleries or see live bands of a genre that you might not otherwise consider. Do an ad ed course in one of the interests on your list or learn a new skill. Do something different that challenges you. Allegedly there is a life away from the comforting smell of a the fresh, crisp pages of a new book as it mingles with a fine cup of tea or dram of a god malt in the gentle light of your sacred reading area.
