    There’s also re-reading books you read as a child and going “Oh, this influencing my development makes a lot of sense”

    I’m pretty sure either Black Beauty or White Fang turned me into whatever the hell I am now

      That happened to me when I reread the His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman. Those books really influenced a lot of my thinking in a good way.

      Oh my god. I never even thought about black beauty influencing me. I always chalked it up to robin hood, star fox and some weird fusion of the dragonriders of pern and the heralds of valdemar.

        Hmmm. Was it? Or were you just a theater kid who was jumping on the bandwagon trends of the time? (Kidding)
