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

A Confederacy of DuncesFinished this on the tube last week - I do not advise reading it on public transport. I gave up trying to supress giggles and ended up producing a full-blown belly laugh somewhere under Oxford Street. People just stared. But one knowing blonde winked at me.
Funniest. Book. Ever. (and may help you find love underground)

Always found it tragic that Toole didn't think his only novel up to much, and that it was left to his mother to posthumously publish it after his death

have to disagree therefound it agonising and considerably less funny than 'lake woebegone days' which in itself was about as funny as an episode of 'Frasier'.
Story of a fat bloke who once rode on a bus. Hmm.
