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

Bryson
Bill Bryson is truly fantastic. My primary school teacher when I was in Year 6 lent me a copy f 'A Walk in the Woods' and, aside from being simpy thrilled it had swear words in it, thought it was the best thing I'd ever read. In the ten years that followed I gradually aquired everything he'd ever written. Legend!
PS. Basing your decisions and beliefs on empirical evidence is not necessarily always the best way to go. (I am a pretentious philosohy student.)
