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 spent the last four years with fairly severe M.E.With about enough energy to make the odd cup of tea. Apart from my fantastic wife & kids, the thing that got me through was a very large pile of very silly books, thanks to the wonders of Cornwall Libraries. I couldn't read anything remotely serious, as my brain would shrivel up after about 5 minutes.
I started on Terry Pratchett. Once I'd read everything by him, I read everything by Tom Holt, Jasper FForde and several others, plus a heap of childrens books.
I'm almost better now. Coincidence? Non!
PS Tom Holt is actually the funniest author evar. 100% FACT
