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

WWJD: What Wasn't Joyce Doing?Booze, opium, cocaine, if it was available, he did it. Then he emigrated to Paris and hit the Absinthe.
I've only read bits of Ulysses, but I still can't truly escape him, because I'm a (mature) student at his old alma mater: University College Dublin. They named the Library after him, and he's heavily represented in there. At least I'm not doing Arts, so I'm not directly exposed, but I still sometimes have to deal with Arts students who have been. Toxic bullshit.
