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

Not getting paid for what crosses my mind, though I do get paid to think!Though my housemate is a professional philosopher.
Can you use personal qualifications in an argument or does that mean you've lost already!? ;o) I will ask.
It's good that you try to make me justify my position, my point being that I don't just turn around and say "It's in the book and the book is RIGHT"
I do use the word faith, however I do not mean blind faith, my faith is reached through asking questions until reaching an understanding that I can choose to believe that It's all a big fluke/cockup and live a wasteful self centred hedonistic life or to believe in Good/Bad, Right/Wrong, Nice/Nasty etc. ie aesthetics and that the latter makes me a damn sight happier than the former!
My point is it's good to think rather than depend on received wisdom otherwise there is no progression.
Hi to the Enzyme fan club!
