Blazer-Sharp, Prattle-Ready, Brainless Steel Samurai Banana

1. Think of something that you really like that people might think you read too much into.
2. List the top 10 things that come to mind that you think someone should read or watch to "get" it the same way you do.
3. List in the order they come to mind, even if the later items seem more important now that you give it some thought.

For Gundam 00, the most poignant discourse on God, faith, and free will I have ever seen in anime:

• Any three books by C.S. Lewis
• Mark Levine, Heavy Metal Islam
• Lynda Edwards, "Myths Over Miami"
• Free Software, Free Society: Selected Essays of Richard M. Stallman
• Philip K. Dick, Valis
• Frank Herbert, God Emperor of Dune
• Poul Anderson, No Truce With Kings
• Beowulf, read of course in a post-Tolkien light
• Equilibrium
• Colin Wilson, Spider World: The Delta

Unfortunately, to discuss my reasons for most of these would involve too many spoilers, but I will note that 1) Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? came very close to making the list; 2) the second item is not about Setsuna, but Marina; and 3) I really wish I could find that article with the Gnostic interpretation of the third.
