This is a question This book changed my life

The 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

Of Mice and Men
was the first book to ever make me cry. It wasn't Lenny dying that did it for me, it was the thought of what George must have gone through having to kill his only friend.

That's quite an achievement for a book, considering I'm an aspie and somewhat challenged in the empathy department.

Good point
But you have to think that George killed Lenny for his own good. It was a far greater thing George done than let his friend be brutally murdered by a lynching mob.
