I've been not reading so much lately, but I did sit on the train the other day and read volume 9 (the conclusion) of Jeff Smith's Bone straight through. I definitely don't want to give away the ending, but I'll mention that I was left just the slightest bit disappointed, though I enjoyed reading it. It looks like there's a one-volume edition of all 9 parts coming out soon. For those of you who haven't read any of them, go get it.

I'm not quite as obsessed with Bone as the friend who recommended them to me (she hands them to guys after the first date or so and if they don't like it she doesn't bother going out them again), but I would indeed recommend them all.
