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

Ah, the breakfast of championsIt is a little known fact that Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tensing breakfasted on vodka, orange juice and Battenburg cake every morning of their ascent of Mount Everest.
It is also a well-kept secret that Sir Edmund wasn't too keen on the marzipan bit of the Battenburg cake, so he would pick it off and give it to Sherpa Tensing. Which is how Sherpa Tensing got to the top first, because he'd eaten more sugar, and hence had more energy.
I'm at work AGAIN. Thank god for work cake and work coffee.
No-one's going to read this, are they. Bum.
