This is a question 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

Primo Levi's If This is a Man
It's a survivor account of one man's struggle to stay alive and cope with his circumstances during the Holocaust.

Before I read this book, I had been an unenthusiastic, jaded 3rd year theology student who had little time for long books. This book changed the way I thought about my subject, and the way I viewed the people of faith around me. If This is a Man has given me a real passion for Holocaust remembrance, and I am hoping to start a masters course in Jewish-Christian relations next year.

It's very sad that he survived all he went through only to chuck himself down a stairwell.
