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

All Creatures Great and Smallall Creatures is the story of a young man that's just graduated veterinary school and the trials and tribulations he faces while establishing his practice.
Tis one of the best books ever written. I've read it many, many times over the years. Not only is it a great read with interesting characters and cuddly vet stories, but it taught me that men can be compassionate, caring, strong and love tiny little animals. Really, I learned a lot about how to be a man from that book.
I urge anyone with children to let them read this book around puberty.
It's also got a great bit where he's elbow deep in a sheep trying to pull out a ewe - if you're into that kinda thing.

ClickedBecause I love the James Herriot books as well, I have the entire collection. 'The Real James Herriot' by Jim Wright (his son) is worth a read as well. Tristan was one of my heroes :0)
