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

"The Story of O" by Pauline Reage, "The Delta of Venus" by Anais Nin, "The Dirty Havana Trilogy" by Pedro Juan Gutierrez. You get the idea.
Dirty books. I love them.

You've never heard of them? And there was me thinking you were an experienced simian of the world...
EDIT: Hi, Bob! My cousin has a piece he composed being played at the last night of the Proms! Woo!

just be fishing in an attempt to get Bob to give a brief (but not to brief) teasing summary of the novels discussed in that wonderfully sultry voice that only Bob has.
of course that's in my imagination, I don't know what Bobs voice is like, but given that she's a singer I imagine it's pretty nice

Nope, it's all an illusion. I'm actually a three year old dwarf rabbit with a learning disability that prevents me from wearing shoes.
*wibble*
I am making notes though, this QOTW is giving me a huge catalogue of books to read that I would never have heard of before.
EDIT sing us a song Bob! Preferably anything but 'I ain't no hollaback girl.'

You guys just really like having conversations in my QOTW answers, don't you?
I'll give you a song. I'm going through a bit of a life-crisis at the moment regarding whether I really want to be an opera singer or not (given that I can be prone to shyness at the most random moments, I don't like being the centre of attention, and I don't sing terribly well under pressure, but mostly because p/grad tuition fees will be over 7k per year for music college when I want to go), and if that's the case, whether my entire life is just one big waste of time and space.
So I'll sing some self-obsessed maudlin jazz instead, to reflect my fucked-up mood: "Round Midnight" by Thelonious Monk. You can't hear it though, you'll have to imagine in. A low, creamy voice, with a sultry whisper running through.
Enzyme: woot! Good for her! (I'm assuming your cousin is Anna Meredith).
Fuck me I'm feeling depressed today.

No - Chris Hazell. He's Mum's cousin, so I only get him by proxy... Still: he used to be on Let's Pretend

The arrangement of trad. Scottish fold songs? Good for him!

Never actually heard any of his stuff before. He wrote Mum's wedding march - which she's never heard except for a few seconds. He either lost contact or the score...

whilst you're giving him a blow job, would it be quite refreshing on a warm summers day?
