This book changed my life
The 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

You are so right!
I remember at aged 15, 4 of us in the front row of an English class howling with laughter for 20 mins about "Uncle Willie, the pre-death mortician that hadn't worked for years" and the toadstools!
I do love the line in "Rommel? Gunner Who?" that goes: "Is it because we find the present so traumatic and the future so uncertain, that we find the past so secure?"
Pure genius.
