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

One of my favourite booksIs the Larousse English-French dictionary I got when I studied A-Level French.
Is this because it's a comprehensive guide and mentor to a beautiful language?
Is this because it helped me expand my French vocabulary to a size of which even Mr Lawrence would be proud?
No.
It's because its pages are made out of that lovely, thin-yet-durable stuff that usually frequents dictionaries and sometimes bibles. I loved to turn its pages and listen to the gentle rustling.
I got an E.
EDIT: And I've just realised that the Larousse is a cookbook. Or is it? I can't remember. Damn.

NopeLarousse is a dictionary. Yours sounds a lot more entertaining than my uni Robert: thick pages with lots and lots of useful phrases in the middle, but does contain all the sweary words too! (The mark of a good dictionary is whether or not rude words are included.)
