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

Around 30 of themMost of them though are either set texts at schools or else hugely popular books. Nothing wrong with that though, but I don't think anyone should beat themselves up about not having read them all.
Mind you this comes from someone with similar reading tastes to CHCB - I too love trashy American crime novels, especially if they feature female detectives who fall into bed with any passing man.
Yes, I have read every single Sue Grafton novel all the way from A for Alibi right up to S is for Silence - not T is for Trespass yet - I'm waiting for the paperback.
Although I have to say that Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books are far, far better and if they ever make a film or tv series and decide they want to cast Stephanie Plum as a 30something woman from the UK then I'm up for the job!
