I read a lot of trades at work. What do I mean exactly? I work for my dad's moving business and we get paid traveling time...we make a lot of stops, most ranging between a half hour to an hour and a half (sometimes a lot more), as well as traffic. And I don't drive the trucks, so I read trades to waste the time away. I own around 425 trades and hardcovers and I've even been re-reading some out of desperation
So here's an order I made just now at Instocktrades.com...the only trades I haven't read in my collection are oversized omnibus and library-sized books I don't want to ruin at work. That, and sequels to books I need the first volume in. Do any else of you guys have interesting places (such as a moving truck lol) that you read your comics?

this makes up for the horrible comic show that took place 10 minutes from my house...all I bought was Mark Waid's
Flash: The Return of Barry Allen trade for $5...can't believe the kid wanted $10 for it...and I almost bought Alan Moore's From Hell, but the kid wouldn't give in at $23 (amazon price, retail $35) when that's all I had left on me; he INSISTED on $25...fine, let it rot on your table all day over $2, moron. I'm sure I'll find it at some Con for $20 in the future.
