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

Pete the PirateWhen I was a young whippersnapper, learning to read at school was an absolute pain. I just couldn't get the books. I was the bottom of my class at reading, they were talking about putting me in a "special" reading class (as I found out much later on) Then, one otherwise uneventual day I chanced apon the book "Pete the Pirate" (well some kids book about pirates anyways). I loved it. I read it in minutes (kids book) and that was it. I was hooked. I proceeded to read 2 years worth of kids books in 3 months!
Even to the present day I love to read. I need at least 15 mins in bed reading every night before I go to sleep. I read whenever I can. I devour books. (Read 1st and 1/2 of 2nd Harry Potter books on a 6 hour train journey)
Thank you "Pete the Pirate" you changed my life. You introduced me to the wonderful world of reading and I've never looked back.
