This is a question 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

Without Remorse
Well, this book didn't change my life, but it has helped me understand how a good book should be written and how intertwined stories linked together.

It's a moving book and whenever I read it, which is at least once a year, there's two parts in the book where I always cry at - even though I know it's coming up...

It's no literary masterpiece, but it's called "Without Remorse" by Tom Clancy. The hardcore book people would probably say "It's not a real book, etc" but if a book makes you think and consider things carefully, then that, surely by rights, makes it a good book?
