Ooh...I forgot about Hitchhiker's. I'd have to say it definitely influenced my beliefs about the absurdity of life and the human race.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
