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

reading and intelligence
I'm sure that reading needn't be synonymous with intelligence, but internet and TV are passive forms of experience. With a book, you can put it down and think through it as you go. It's a slow process with many nuances. Material for TV and the Net is so often premasticated to suit a broad demographic.
