"Bone"

I love it when I can get Jared into the stuff I watch and read, and more often than not the best way to do that is by accident. He'll be in my room and start going through my bookshelf for something distracting, and pick up a comic or something of mine, and a lot of the time he actually gets into it.

Last night, after we'd both become burned out on work, he grabbed the first issue of Bone. My history with Bone is kind of weird and spotty-- I got into it in like, elementary school when they were running it in Disney Adventure magazine, which I was a big fan of at the time. ;-) Over the intervening years I've collected the trades at a snail's pace, so even now I'm only like five books in and still haven't read the entire story. I'm not sure why it's taking me so long, I really like the series and want to finish, but I guess I just never think of it when it would be possible to get more books. Should get on that. Anyway, Jared started reading it last night and got pretty far in. It's kind of a strange little universe that it takes place in, but the story and characters are really engaging. And if he enjoys it and finishes, then we can discuss it. :-) I love talking about stories.
