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

The forever war -Joe HaldemannI think I was 14 or 15 when this popped up in the library. great ideas including the "minimum necessary change" which works for engineering too.
But in some ways it was also an allegorical airing of some of the authors Vietrnam war experiences and thoughts on war.
Much of the nitty gritty in there has been ripped off by subsequent literary borrowers, and Hollywood Films/ tv productions.
