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

And, while we're at it, no belief is entitled to respect. If a belief is true, no kicking that I can give it will dent it. If it's false, then any kicking it receives is unproblematic - and, if it's shattered in the process, the erstwhile believer ought to be grateful. No?
