I was going to suggest that you tell your husband that you're cancelling cable to buy coloring books, but I like ALynn's answer better.

I haven't thought that there would be adult coloring books, but it is cool idea. Are any available on Amazon?

Probably, but they're also real easy to find if you go to Barnes & Noble. At my local branch, they have them displayed all over. :D

Oh my... I don't feel violent towards my husband. I am just going to convert him to the darkside! He will be coloring by the end of the year.

If you look back at my original post, it has links to various ones available on Amazon. You can also just go to Amazon and search for "adult coloring book" and get lots of results!

The idea of "adult coloring books" disturbs me a bit. Would a person need extra flesh-colored crayons?

Funny you should mention this! I've been seeing a lot of ads from bookstores about adult coloring books. I loved coloring when I was young, and more recently, with my kids. However, they're too old and "cool" to be coloring now. I think it's a great stress-reliever and may have to get a book and colored pencils!
