So, I’ve added Courtny’s, Sven’s, Soren’s, Adam’s, and Dave’s suggestions to the list! Thanks!

Soren, I see a lot of Company novels. Which one should I start with?

Soren, by the way, is someone everyone here should know about. He’s written some of the Human Contact setting stuff, particularly the nanotech and Esoterics articles, and has been a hyperactive sounding board throughout the creative process.

I read Butler’s Wild Seed and wasn’t blown away by it, so I haven’t read anything else by her. But the recommendations come in so hot and heavy, I obviously can’t ignore her any longer.

I can’t figure out how to add stuff to someone else’s wishlist, either. I’ve tried to send things to other people at times, and I thought you could, but now I can’t find a way to do it.

Anyway, thanks for the recommendations! I’ve added them to the list!

As a completed work it has to be my favourite piece of manga. (I really, really like the promise and the beginning of Appleseed, but as with all of Shirow’s works it eventually gets stuck in too many complicated ideas.)

Lukas, the manga series is a treasured possession of our household.

The thing that gets me the most about Warriors of the Wind is that the cover features a warrior boy who does not exist in the movie as the apparent lead, dominating over Nausicaä, who, if I recall, is riding a flying unicorn.

Lessee now…

Yep, there it is. Holy crap, it’s awful. The God Warrior is in a more important position than Nausicaä, along with two completely made-up characters, dominating an Ohmu. “A BAND OF YOUNG WARRIORS!” Wow. It’s… it’s like they didn’t watch the movie at all. Or they did, and figured all this “girls can be protagonists” stuff was weird nonsense from the people who wrote your VCR instructions.
