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

@Enzyme
It could be anything really

* It was the book that looked the nicest when someone was told to go to a charity shop and pick up as many cheap books as they can find that roughly fitted the brief.

* It was out of copyright so it didn't have to be cleared / pay a third party

* It amused someone who was working on the project or they thought it was classy

Having worked on advertising projects, I'm just saying that often the choices made are for quite pragmatic reasons rather than anything else.
