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

Have to admitthat quite a few were as a result of reading them to my daughter when she was ickle. But that was how I discovered that 'Winnie the Pooh' was brilliant - I was in floods of tears at the end when Christopher Robin was going off to school and Pooh promised to think of him occasionally when he wasn't there.
Agree with others above that some entries have no place in a top 100 and Nick Hornby and Delia are two of them.
Is there any relevance to the order? As 'LOTR' as No.1 seems bizarre to me and I don't think Orwell would want 'Animal Farm' in the top 10.
