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

I read that at school.....took it out of the school library with no idea it was a famous book.
Read it, took it back. English teacher asked me what I thought of it - I rememeber wondering why he cared - probably impressed with me.
"'s'allright." said I.
"What did you think it was about?" asks teacher. I had no idea this was a standard 'catcher in the rye' question and I was supposed to get all deep and metaphysical.
'Snot about anything. It's about a bored bloke who doesn't do much'
It was a few years later before I found out it was such a 'classic' - explains why my teacher looked disapointed at my reply.
