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

Massively agreeWith Ancrenne's post reference precision esp. commas etc below.
One we used at school - Using the sentence:
"I punched him in the eye yesterday"
You can drop the word "only" into this sentence in 8 different places - You can make the sentence mean 8 different things by where in the sentence the word is placed.
Apologies for excitement and errors - As all the books mentioned show, words are important and should be used well.
I'll get my coat.
