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 don't read much, butI've found that I really like nonfiction books written by Western authors that are set in India. One was just a collection of short stories of people's firsthand experiences there. Another was called "Holy Cow" and was by a non-religious Australian woman who moved to Delhi and took various religions for a test drive. I found one once about a woman who bicycled across India, and didn't buy it, which I now regret.
I also recently enjoyed "Peace Like a River".
Once when I was sick I read 2001 and 2010 in a couple days, then went on to read 2061 and 3001 shortly thereafter. 2001 the book was so much better than the movie. Then again, so was Jurassic Park, 1000 Acres, and probably every other case in which I've both read the book and seen the movie.
When I was a kid, Judy Bloom books were totally rad.
