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

@ Devil_in_TightsOne book that I really enjoyed and gave me a greater idea of where all the major philosophers fitted into history was Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World.
I recommend that to Fine Art undergrads who have never really come across philosophy before.
Enzyme...I think I love you.
Not because you're taking the OP apart, but because you break down the argument into the basic building blocks of understanding.
In my opinion everyone should be taught philosophy from the age of seven onwards. Why seven? Because according to Piaget and other educational experts from the age of seven children are capable of abstract, non-concrete thought.
