What are some great iPhone apps for fun, light reading or trivia?

I currently use Buzzfeed a lot for the fun lists and pop culture stories, but a) the millions of quizzes annoy me, and b) I run out of content pretty fast.

What other iphone apps are out there that provide similar content? I'm not looking for news apps, unless they are very funny. I don't mind reading longer articles but this is mainly for bus-reading so brevity is valued.

I love listicles, trivia, Tumblr posts, and funny tweets - let me know what fits the bill!

This is a very late answer, but on the offchance that you see it: you could try the Bored Panda app, which offers a mix of amusing listicles and interesting short posts. With the listicles, which are often very long (well over a hundred photos of daft signs or dogs acting like people or...), you can click on a single photo to access a non-paginated mode where you can just flick through the entries one at a time, ad-free - otherwise there's an animated advertising banner at the bottom of the screen, which I find unpleasantly distracting.
