    You remind me of my wife.

    When we met, she introduced me to lots of short stories that made me reconsider my perspective on things. This was one of them. She still makes me reconsider my convictions whether I want to or not. I sure do love her for that.

        Sure, but I’m not sure I remember many offhand and some have become popular since then so you may have already read them.

        Two that come to mind:

        edit: another one that came to mind, though my wife didn’t introduce me to this one, was ~~All You Zombies~~ by Robert Heinlein. I think that one has a movie adaptation called … Predestination maybe?

        One my wife did recommend to me, though I found it less impactful than she did, was [https://ia801904.us.archive.org/35/items/the-jaunt-stephen-king/The Jaunt - Stephen King.pdf](The Jaunt) by Stephen King.

        Also, though I don’t recall if I ever ended up reading it, she really liked All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury.

        edit 2: Not sure why the Stephen King link isn’t working. The % maybe?

        edit 3: Replaced all instances of %20 with a space. Link still didn’t work on my client. If it doesn’t work on yours, I’m afraid you’ll have to search for the story or manually copy the URL… Sorry.
