This is a question 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

Endless, I tells ye!
I started to read The Myth of Sisyphus; in fact, I got most of the way through it. Then my bookmark fell out, and I lost my place and had to start reading it again.

This keeps happening.

Classical allusions, eh! I wrote a short sci-fi story based on that book.
