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

Small correctionIt's 120 Days of Sodom.
I started reading, expecting to be titillated, thrilled, excited, perhaps eve repulsed and horrified.
No such luck. After the first 20-odd days have gone by, it just repeats itself over and over again, extolling the virtues of a lovely steaming turn, freshly-laid from the nether regions of a 10 year-old child directly onto the dinner plate. Over and over again.
So I skipped to the end, and caught the opposite end of the spectrum. The most extreme kinds of torture imaginable, yet described in such a clinical and dry manner as to render them fearless.
I wasn't impressed by the book.
