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 learned at a young agethat making explosives was surprisingly easy. Basically all you need is something combustible and an oxidising agent to make it combust more rapidly.
There are other types, usually compounds which are naturally unstable (azides and other highly nitrated materials are useful) and can be detonated by shock, but they're more complicated. However, simple explosives are well within the realm of schoolboy science.
There is an element of Darwinian selection at work when making one's own explosives of course, and fortunately I was sufficiently careful to ensure my own survival.
