This book changed my lifeThe Goat writes, "Some books have made a huge impact on my life." It's true. It wasn't until the b3ta mods read the Flashman novels that we changed from mild-mannered computer operators into heavily-whiskered copulators, poltroons and all round bastards in a well-known cavalry regiment.
What books have changed the way you think, the way you live, or just gave you a rollicking good time?
Friendly hint: A bit of background rather than just a bunch of book titles would make your stories more readable

Agree with WeeWitchOn James Nesbitt's casting in an otherwise OK adaptation of a good Christopher Brookmyre book. He was so iredeemably shit and wrong in every bloody way. ITV must have had a contract to honour, it's the only explanation. Mind you, they did change the ending as well which kind of fucked up the character relationships in following books, being that the female copper helping our hero in the book was a lesbian, and in the TV version, he copped off with her at the end.
Books to films that are better than the book: Not many. But Jaws springs to mind. The book is OK but too focussed on the Brodie's marital dischord rather than shark chompy-chompy action.
IMHO.
