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

I've posted once already but
so many of these posts are honest heartfelt and thoughtful so I felt it might be worth adding an extra book;
Cannery Row by John Steinbeck.
My copy is held together by willpower these days- I have read it on dozens of occasions. Whenever I'm in a foul mood, I can read this short book in an afternoon and feel immeasurably better. The simple life affirming joy of its subject matter is a tonic I don't seem to tire of.
If you haven't read it before it won't take you very long to see if I'm talking out my arse or not.
