Kickass reading. A Doll's House is, in my opinion, the best volume of Sandman. It's serial killer convention encouraged me to ask a lot of questions about the phenomenon and do some of the research I did that led me to creating the Murderland world. And, as for Jack London, he's a great American writer and a great American journalist, much better with short fiction than novels. To Build a Fire is really something.
