The Oatmeal is one of the nonsense websites I used to visit regularly before I tried cut down on non-informative websurfing. You can also buy oatmeal in print, for example: »How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you«. It is just the same cat-related nonsense as on the internet, but somehow it feels better. Easy reading, turning pages instead of scrolling or clicking, but it is the same kind of innocent bur rather shallow entertainment that gives you a few good laughs or at least smiles without leaving any marks.

#1 New York Times Best Seller? That only means that many people buy the book, maybe read it. It does not mean that the book leaves a lasting impression.
