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

Wuthering HeightsFor some reason the "Powers that be" decided to drop Shakespeare and we got the above mentioned instead. I love reading BUT it was the first book that I could not read.
It changed my life because I was dropped out of the top set for English way down to the CSE group. I only got a grade 2 at exam time and was turned down for so many jobs because I did not have an English GCE O level. I ended up going to night school in my early 20s to get it.
Since then I have managed to read all types of books and decided to buy a copy of the above for myself, thinking I could read it when I was older - no can do. It must be a mental block somewhere.
I love Jane Eyre though.
