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

At last'Foucault's Pendulum' gets a mention.
It is to 'The Da Vinci Code' what Nick Hornby's 'About a Boy' is to 'Great Expectations' - if that isn't too obscure an analogy. [EDIT: other way round of course]
Fantastic book - full of interesting stuff not just the Templars and Joseph of Aremathea, but what't great is that the puzzle takes our hero over a decade to solve, not a frantic 24 hours like the Dan Brown tripe.
Oh, and 'Down & Out...' is great too.
