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

Chronological order8: Redwall - Brian Jacques. I became obsessed and started a religion with the characters as deities. I was obviously high priestess.
12: Witches of Eileanan - Kate Forsyth. Given to me by a teacher on whom I had a huge crush at the time, it was the first grown-up book I read - with SEX in it. It was all downhill from there.
15: The Liar - Stephen Fry. Wit, drug references, espionage - and gay sex. In my youth I've always had a yen to be more dashing and to live in a boarding school, and therefore fell madly in love with the Oscar Wilde-impersonating hero of the novel.
16: Story of O - Pauline Reage. Kinky sex. Need I say more?
And therein we have the tale of my adolescent descent into the flames of hell. Or something.
