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

Gosh
You guys just really like having conversations in my QOTW answers, don't you?

I'll give you a song. I'm going through a bit of a life-crisis at the moment regarding whether I really want to be an opera singer or not (given that I can be prone to shyness at the most random moments, I don't like being the centre of attention, and I don't sing terribly well under pressure, but mostly because p/grad tuition fees will be over 7k per year for music college when I want to go), and if that's the case, whether my entire life is just one big waste of time and space.

So I'll sing some self-obsessed maudlin jazz instead, to reflect my fucked-up mood: "Round Midnight" by Thelonious Monk. You can't hear it though, you'll have to imagine in. A low, creamy voice, with a sultry whisper running through.

Enzyme: woot! Good for her! (I'm assuming your cousin is Anna Meredith).

Fuck me I'm feeling depressed today.
