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

Such an amiable chap..Bill Bryson is one of those rare authors who can make any topic interesting (currently reading his "Shakespear" one). Having read everything he's done I can agree how much of an impact he can make.
I loved the line about him hanging from the loft hatch when the ladder fell away. "They (women) can hear a dollop of jam hit the carpet from 100 yeards but couldn't hear his screams from upstairs..."
