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

I remember being in the top year of infants, but I'm buggered if I can remember what age that would make me...Anyway, we went on our first class trip to the library down the road. I was already extremely familiar with the place, saying "Hello Lynne, hello Diane" to the librarians as I went in. I headed straight to the horror/sci-fi section to choose a juicy James Herbert, only to be shepherded by my teacher to the children's books section. "Those are adult books," she scolded. "But I've read most of them," I replied, yet still had to sit sulkily with the rest of the class pretending to read The Adventures of Teddy Robinson* or something similar.
*I'd already read all of the Teddy Robinson books a good few years earlier.
