I have only read a few of them, but the short story 'Omelias' was the one that affected me most. I read it when I was 15, and I was in an elite, snobbish school then. It made me think about what we will sacrifice to have our privileges/ wealth

I think the effect of an author is also correlated with age/ life experience of the reader. Certain stories are more effective at certain times.
