My favourite for a long time has been The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S Eliot. Here is one excerpt I like.

For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying ...

I'd better not catch you ...

If you like Bach and math i would highly recommend Godel Escher Bach by Douglas Hofstadter. It's a fun book and it made a big impression on me when i read it in high school.

I never used LLMs much, but recently I had to fix a driver written in C++ by someone else with Claude not very long ago, and it really put me off vibecoding.
