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

Loosely equivalent.I grew up in North East England in the 80s. During that time, all of the major industries (ship building & coal mining mainly) were reaching the end of a very steep decline to their eventual demise. Unemployment was huge and the city centres were in a serious state of disrepair.
I therefore had a similar experience to yours when I first read 'Stig of the Dump'.
