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

No probs with American Gods...Managed to get my wife to read and enjoy it.
But there's a short story, I can't remember the name, about a person who's mother has died, and the father wraps her like a present, getting her smaller and smaller until (to my mind) there's just the essence left which he gives to the (grown up) child.
I read this story for the first time a few weeks after my parents died, and every time I read it it wells my emotions up.
