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

The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain BluebearLinky - www.amazon.co.uk/13-2-Lives-Captain-Bluebear/dp/0099285320/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1211199984&sr=1-1
I can't remember how I got onto it, but it's the most surreal entertainment in a children's book I've ever read - Not quite Dr Suess, but totally weird.
It's a book that made me laugh out loud a lot and when he can read properly, my son will be reading it (he doesn't know that yet though!)
Read it, you'll love it :)

Yes!A thousand times yes!
I bought it on the strength of a blue cartoon bear - and it was the best surprise ever!
I've just finished 'Rumo and his miraculous adventures' - give it a whirl. It's a lot darker (like Dahl writing Tolkien almost), and brilliant!
