Can you suggest some readings, stuff you found especially enjoyable?

(I ask because you're my favorite writer on HN, and am curious as to what things influenced you)

Appreciate the compliment! My favorite books are Candide, The Great Gatsby, and My Antonia. Dracula and Frankenstein are really good too.

Whose translation of Candide do you suggest?

Read the Great Gatsby last year, was shocked at how much I liked it. Will definitely give My Antonia a read.
