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

The Da Vinci CodeI read it after Angels & Demons and found that to be the better book. The pace was slow in the Da Vinci code and there was nothing new in it as a book or story. It simply wasn't worth the hype.
But about 2 years ago I was contacted on a dating website by a woman who had read my profile and was interested in knowing more about me. Based on her profile listing her favourite book as the Da Vinci code, I declined.
She persisted and we exchanged numbers, our differing views on the book helped us get over that awkward initial conversation. A year later we married.
Damn you Dan Brown, you made me married and middle aged!

Did you use your new-found relationship......to solve a particularly unlikely murder and uncover a millenia-old secret?

Truth & lies.It's true that the most believable lies are those mixed with a little bit of fact to make them plausible.
I couldn't believe the hype surrounding this book, let alone all of the crackpots that thought the 'secrets' it 'revealed' were actually the truth. I may be harsh in assuming that these people are the same ones who believe that Coronation Street and East Enders are real.
