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

Volume 1 & 2 of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"
A brilliantly twisted view of many folklore characters melded into various situations; was rather unfortunate to suffer from the bastardisation of cinema, but there again when 1st scene in the original story involved one of the main "anti-heroes" almost getting raped, you knew it wasn't going to happen onscreen. Twas good to see many old horror story characters melded together and the friction which occured; especially as when I was a kid I used to love watching the horror films from the 40's to the 60's.
Am reading the "Commonwealth Saga" by Peter F. Hamilton at the mo, on "Judas Unchained". Cracking sci-fi for you lackies if you aint heard of it.

It's very good though
I got an illegal copy off t'internets so didn't have the 3-D glasses you need to read the last section. I ended up eating a box of Quality Street so I could get a red and a green cellophane wrapper to tape together and hold in front of my eyes. It worked though. Oh, and the Fanny Hill bit was quite fun
