Some of the works I urge people to read, if they haven't already. Why? Because they are not like anything else, and each changed me, and for the most part they aren't completely obvious must-reads, at least not today, so I may succeed in steering someone toward a book they wouldn't have otherwise picked up.

This is the first time I've read this short-story in translation, and it does not "pale" in comparison with the original. I've written about the pleasure of reading literature in German, when compared to its shadowy counterpart in English (I imagine the same happens when one translates from English into German).
