    I read this 15 years ago in highschool. It was probably the single most defining piece of literature that shaped how I view life.

    Every time I look at something or someone and ponder their perspective, I can’t help but get the itchy feeling that “I” (not myself of course, but my little point of consciousness) might be them one day and have to deal with their problems.

    It usually makes me a lot more charitable in conflicts and it gives me a compelling reason to randomly make someone’s day better.

    So thanks for changing my life that way, Andy Weir
