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

Books, them wot do have words in.What the Buddha never taught, Tim Ward
The story of a western chap taking a sojurn in a Buddhist monastary and the things he learns/fails to learn whilst there. It's gentle, relaxing and in places comes very close to thought provoking without prodding too hard.
My copy is missing, again.
The Minotaur's Tale, Al Davison
If you're me this one stings like a bastard.
If you're not it may well be a distressingly mawkish tale of overcoming the negative perceptions of society.
Illusions, Ruichard Bach
This one is just plain escapist fantasy fun. Unlike Jonathan Livignstone Seagull which I found irritatingly UberChristian, this book speaks of a much more relaxed anti messiah, a fellow enamoured of the non-prophet motive.
Even now I am wearing my "I am not the messiah" T-shirt, and it feels good.
I may expand on this later, but right now I really need to go and have a sit down.
