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

Catch 22Another one that no one seems to have brought up yet. It's an amazing book like no other, very funny, very vicious and quite moving at times, but my favourite thing about it is the way it messes with time. Chapters shift back and forward with no indication at all. The only way to keep track of it is to note the number of missions the characters are due to fly at each stage. It's not until about half-way through that you get any sense of how it all fits together (after which it gradually gets more linear).
