    What Hacker News says

      - The Paul Street Boys (Ferenc Molnár)

      - The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas (Machado de Assis)

      - Cousin Bazilio (Eça de Queirós)

      - Pedagogy of the Oppressed (Paulo Freire)

      All these as a teen. I don't think my moral compass had much plasticity after that.

      The Paul Street Boys by Ferenc Molnár - it's a classic tale about honor, brotherhood and loyalty.

      It made a great impression on me as a boy and, later in life, helped choose what kind of people I want to associate with.
