Blindsight really fucked with my head, and not in a good way.

Books can do that. Like, read Tom Robbins and you'll fall in love with the next person you see. Read Peter Watts and you'll spend the next four years looking at the person next to you like they're an alien who's plotting to lay eggs in you without themselves even knowing it.

Can confirm, I think about Blindsight a lot (I think it's good), and when I was 21 I fell for a girl after we found out we were both reading Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (Robbins)
