>the heirodules on the grounds of the House Absolute

Stuff like On The Road and Vonnegut just cause you can't really appreciate them past a certain age.

I wish I had read The Wizard Knight as a teenager.

Granted I've only read the first book, but where the hell is the 'science' coming from?

There is more than enough hints to figure out it's set in the future from the first half. The moment when it really clicked was when they were explaining special relativity to me.

Don Quixote, Tristram Shandy, Borges. all of thos would have blown my mind as a kid. especially borges, Poe was one of my favorite authors but i always knew there was more to explore in imagination. I still get the feeling of wonder from Borges that i used to get from Poe.

Pretty much all of them. I only started reading literature three years ago, at the age of thirty-three.
