I used to buy extra and then bring my items out later in the year to hustle pokemon cards away from kids. I didn't even know what I was doing. I just knew kids really liked the cheap crap they sold on those things.

The last book I read as a child, which I think was a major development point for me, I had picked up because it had Gameboy in the title. The only way it was related was because the main character and his friend played Pokémon together all the time and then his friend killed himself and his mom broke down in front of the main character. I think that's the reason I'm all fucked up now. I read that when I was 8.

>Animorphs

Looking back, it was pretty good sci-fi, wasn't it? I can thinking of a lot of modern "adult" science fiction that doesn't handle things as well as Animorphs. I actually loved the sorting of the various races that made up the Yeerk Empire, and how the politics of the various Vissers operated. The cast of the Animorphs themselves likewise had a good dynamic, though Tobias could be kind of insufferable.
