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

I'm just at the start of part 2 - Rostov and Denisov are back in Moscow in early 2006, and a marriage with Sonya looks on the cards. Oh, and Bolkonsky has just fought his duel. I'm reading it part-by-part, interspersing it with other stuff.
Crime and Punishment is staggering. One of the most powerful books I've ever read. Dostoyevsky is one of my heroes...
