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

I had a long discussion with some friends about thisI argued that there wasn't anything wrong with using an American per se (after all, the Old Ones are supposed to be everywhere), and I could see how it was tempting to try to put some distance between this book and all the other Great British Children's Fantasy Novels currently being put to celluloid, particularly HP (boy discovers he has magic powers, is initiated by kindly old wizard, sent on quest etc etc). It could have been fine.
Apparently it wasn't.
