This book changed my life
The 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

I have always intended to give it another try
I think I may have been a bit too young when I first tried it, so didn't have the patience to persevere.
It's generally books that haven't challenged me enough that I've given up on (got bored with), but this one just left me confused and lost.
He's a strange man though, Mr Pynchon, and GR is a true reflection of that.
EDIT: Tristram Shandy sits unfinished by my bed too... but I will finish it, one day, honest.
