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 ages of reading...When I was very young I read a different ENID BLYTON book every week, part of visiting the market with my mum was getting one from the book stall. (Not for me 2nd hand copies, I wanted new hardbacks...)
Then at senior school, thats years 7 - 11 to you young 'uns, I was given "The Chrysalids" by JOHN WYNDHAM as part of English Lit, and that started my sci-fi craze for quite a few years. (Sci-fi included science as well as fiction.)
Recently the nearest I've had to changing my life was the first "Dark Materials" book by PHILLIP PULLMAN. Not because of its religious, or anti-religious, subtext, but because for the first time in many years I actually dreamt about charecters from a book... (the giant polar bears..)

Erm...While I agree with your choices...and have actually read all of them....
I'm not a deaf old lady - that's what the capitals read as...someone telling a deaf elderly relative what to read.
