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

oooh,Of all the discworld books I like the City Watch arc best, generally speaking, but for me the stand-out scene is in night watch. when they have the fight in the past and it's all going wrong and it's suddenly not funny, it's terrifying and just for a few seconds, in your head, these people are really about to die.
I've very rarely been sucked into a book to quite that degree and it had a powerful effect on me.
as for quotes, google the annotated pratchett file and see a million classic lines, but the first to come to mind:
"It was darker than the inside of a cat"
