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

Mini-Maladicta's favourite booksThe Worst Witch Now that was a world I wanted to live in - broomsticks and kittins and magic spells. I'm also as clumsy as Mildred so I would have fitted right in.
Anything by Roald Dahl I recently gave all my Dahl books to charity and have been kicking myself ever since. My favourites were Matilda, James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory/Glass Elevator. I owe the man my black sense of humour.
The aforementioned LOTR
The Sophie Stories As well as sharing my name - you didn't know that, did you? - the little girl in the books was the image of me as a little girl - always muddy, dress-hating scruff desperate for a pet of some kind. I was very disappointed to not get my own pony when I turned eight. And of course, she had a friend called Andrew...
Ramona Quimby Timeless and adorable, and I had a friend with boingable curls too!
Law of the Wolf Tower If you know me anywhere other than b3ta, you may know that my nickname is Claidi. It's a self-given nickname, but it comes from this book and the three that followed it. They're a little like Lord of the Rings, but aimed at young adults and they just plain rock.
