There are some quotes in Malcolm's book about Wittgenstein's habit of reading detective stories, too. Related to the question raised in the article whether going to the movies was just leisure or also philosophial. Taken with a grain of salt I especially like this one: "Your mags are wonderful. How people can read Mind if they could read Street & Smith beats me. If philosophy has anything to do with wisdom, there's certainly not a grain of that in Mind, & quite often a grain in the detective stories." (p. 32 in the Clarendon Press, 2001 edition)
