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

The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook for the Urban Warrior: Spiritual Survival GuideThis book helped me organize many random thoughts that had been floating round my mind for several years. I once figured out this religion thing and came to the conclusion that everyone should have their own personalised religion. When I read "Handbook for the Urban Warrior", it explained that this was similar to the philosophy of Tao-ism. It helped build a more solid framework for my existing thoughts.
And to top it off, it's an entertaining read.
Length? 256 pages (had to get that out the way)

Similar book, but crapI have a book called The Urban Warrior's Handbook which is filled with suggestions for self-improvement and links to Taoism. But unfortunately it's written in a really annoying style and is also 99% wank.

Pretty much what Ruddles sez.The author talks crap, and he's made a mint out of it.

@Ruddles & bearpookieNot heard of that book. Sounds like it's a poorly plagiarised version of Stephen Russell's original. I think Stephen Russel is an entertaining author.
