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

Books I've never finished and why.One of mine is Guy Debord's The Society of the Spectacle. A friend who thought it sounded like my rants about how we were all being taken over by pop-culture recommended it to me. While the premise of the book is interesting, I just found it really heavy going and not the sort of thing I'd like to read when I just wanted to read a good book (I pity the poor translator who translated it from it's original French).
There are others I've not finished either - usually because I found something else to do and forgot about it.
