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

Magical Stories of Mystery and Suspense.There was one a big yellow excavator called Digg-Digg. And thus all my stories on my camping holidays began. I only ever wanted one short story, that of Digg-Digg. The story goes like this: Digg-Digg was a very old, very worn out digger. She had a mean owner that used to kick her and abuse her in various ways, until one day, Digg-Digg realised her handbrake had been left off, and she was rolling away, down the large hill that the farmer lived on and towards freedom.
There wasn't a lot more to it than that, but my Grandad sent me the book Digg-Digg was in, and it conjoured up warm memories of the New Forest. To this day I think "Digg-Digg" when I see an excavator.
Oh, and "The Beginner's Spellbook" or some New Age rubbish. I don't know where the book went, but that got me into lots of Pagan hippy stuff. I still prefer Digg-Digg.
