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

Doing my CBT changed my lifeHaving had a journey to and from work that could last up to four hours, I made the most of the opportunity to read. I have no idea how many books I ploughed through over the 5 or so years, but I read constantly; often continuing on the short walk from tube to office.
Then last year I finally gained license to drive a motorised vehicle (well, a 125cc anyway) and it's made my journey much, much quicker. I now fly into work in no more than half an hour.
I have since experienced freedom like I've never known; the freedom to travel around the sprawling capital without relying on its second rate public transport; the freedom to go wherever I like so long as it doesn't rely on motorways; the freedom to indulge my laziness and not have to walk everywhere (I do actually enjoy walking, but it's nice to have the choice).
However, this freedom had two significant drawbacks: 1) I put on weight (over indulging my laziness, clearly); 2) I went from reading for hours everyday, to reading only occasionally.
I really try to make time to read (and walk) as I feel like something significant is missing and that no books are changing my life.
