I caught it, I just didn't respond to it. :)

When we're on the subject of reading....
There's a few series that ought to be a must read... some are not
well suited for kids, though.

Suggested reading:
Bone (The Bones from Boneville. Fantasy series. Seems like kids'
books but that's just appearance. Beautiful story.. don't miss it!).
Preacher (Anyone under 16-18 years shouldn't read it, I think. Fairly
sick. But very cool, esp. 'Preacher - Gone to Texas.).
Sin City (Frank Miller. Black and white, stark, grim, nihilistic. A
must if you're older than 16-18 somewhere.).
ANYTHING by Neil Gaiman. His touch is golden, as far as I am
concerned. Black Orchid, Death (The high cost of living & The time of
your life), any Sandman book (Especially the middle of the series),
Books of Magic.

Manga, of course...
New Dominion tank police(No conflict) is fun.
Ghost in the Shell is a must read for anyone considering themselves
SR fans.

Well, that's about what you'll find in my shelves at the moment. Some
Usagi Yojimbo(sp?), Elfquest (long ago.). The rest is books, books,
books.
