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

Roger Red Hat......Billy Blue Hat and Johnny and Jennifer Yellow Hat.
Maybe not the most awe inspiring books, and not of the greatest literary depths. Probably never going to win the Booker prize.
But they taught me, and a whole generation, to read. Without them I'd have never read Catch 22, Disgrace, Wuthering Heights, The Preacher series and many, many more.
Sheila McCullagh, my hat is doffed to you. I owe you more than you could possibly know.
(not amusing, I know, but I bet there's many b3tans with the same debt of gratitude to this woman)
Still don't know why it had to be Johnny and Jennifer Yellow Hat?
