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

Honestly?It was 'Where the wild things are'
One of my earliest memories is sitting in the 'carpet corner' of my nursery, aged 3, with this book spread across my lap. I couldn't read a word of it. I couldn't read.
The pictures were so evocative and exciting that I made it my sole mission to learn. Fast.
Tomorrow morning I sit my first of my final exams in Anthropology at Oxford. And I'm shit scared.
I never returned to that book as a child, or indeed, an adult. I'll read it when I finish my exams... Just to find out what the appeal of weird beings on an isolated island really was.
Fuck Malinowski.
