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

Time Travelers WifeIt's not exactly changed my life but I would say that this is my favourite book. I know its not plausible and that quite frankly, Time Travel isn't a novel concept for a book but the way it is described and the love that Henry and Clare have for each other kind of makes all that seem insignificant.
I guess its the first book that I've read thats affirmed my personal, albeit soppy beliefs in waiting for love, and how circumstances shouldn't shape peoples lives, they should merely add to them.
Does this make sense or has 2 glasses of fizzy wine made me talk crap?

*nods*Makes a LOT of sense to me. That book was just completely amazing, I completely agree about the whole waiting for love thing.
Plus it made me cry in the middle of Starbucks, a definite achievement!

I was late for work finishing itCame into work with what my boss has since referred to as the worst excuse he's ever heard: 'Sorry, I couldn't stop reading until I'd finished my book'.
