Books

Red Mars-The first in the trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson describing the colonization of Mars by humans. In my opinion an excelent book. Amazing character development and descriptions of Mars.

Green Mars-Continues where Red Mars left off, keeps most of the same characters and introduces a few new ones. Again, amazing descriptions, just very well written overall.

Blue Mars-The third and final book in the trilogy, I'm almost finished and I must say it's the best of the three. Shorter Sections, combined with the same wonderful writing. Just beware, you might start feeling as old as the first hundred yourself. ;)

A Wizard of Earthsea	The Tombs of Atuan	The Farthest Shore	Tehanu: The Last Book of Earthsea
			An awsome series, moving and meaningfull and fun too!

The Fellowship of the Ring	The Two Towers	The Return of the King	The Altas Of Middle Earth

	Jewel-A Night Without Armor Also avaliable on: -CD -Tape		Chasing Down the Dawn
Poery by Jewel, really great, you can see the origins of some of her lyrics...	A book in prose, has pictures and her stories, I looked through it for 20 minutes at the store, it's beautiful.

The Matrix- On DVD (also on video)

Ghost in the Shell
	Ghost in the Shell- What can I say, this is one of the greatest Anime movies ever... If you can handle the nudity (she isn't human, just remember that!), the plot and animation quality are amazing!
Mononoke Hime	(Princess Mononoke)
	Mononoke Hime - I saw this movie 3 times in the theater. It is an amazing story and the animation is by Miyazaki, enough said.

Gundam Wing:
	Operation 1 (Episodes 1-5)		Operation 2 (Episodes 6-10)
	Operation 3 (Episodes 11-15)		Operation 4 (Episodes 16-20)
	Operation 5 (Episodes 21-25)		Operation 6 (Episodes 26-30)
	Operation 7 (Episodes 31-35)		Endless Waltz (OAV episodes 1-3 + Special Edition Movie)

Sailor Moon S
Heart Collection - Volume I, II, and III Anyone who saw any of the "new" episodes of Sailor Moon on Toonami knows how badly destroyed it was. These DVD's are uncut, acurately translated and have the japanese language track. No longer will the moronic dubbing be the only option! The first disc had 7 episodes on it. I don't have 2 and 3 yet, because they haven't been released

Shojo Kakumei Utena	(Revolotionary Girl Utena)
	Rose Collection - Volume 1 - Episodes 1-7 - I recently got to see the REST of this series (beyond the American release) and I now realize just how important and fortuitous these episodes are.
	Rose Collection - Volume 2 - Episodes 8-13 - These episodes complete the Student Council Saga, and are a complete storyline in themselves. The truly important meanings are all hidden behing a screen of foolishness, but they are there if you know where to look.
