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

The BibleMy family inherited an old, old family Bible from 1869. Inside the front cover are all sorts of family tree documents dating back centuries.
Anyway, one time in high school, I opened the Bible and read the first passage that came to my eye. I don't remember how it went, but it basically said this:
"The Jews think they are the chosen people of God, but they are the foot soldiers in the armies of Hell. It is not a crime to kill a Jew."
The wording is wrong, but I know it used the term 'foot soldiers,' and I know the arguments put forth were essentially as I wrote them above.
I've never been able to find any information about this passage. Either it was retconned out, or this was a pirate copy of the Bible or something.
To this day I'm still an atheist. I'd like to thank the Bible for that.
