This book changed my life
The 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

Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass.
The fateful day when the Disney "magic" finally died for me when I realised they were no less of a faceless, money grabbing, crowd pleasing, corporate force than any other Hollywood studio.
Having totally missed the point of one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read and me only realising this years after seeing the film that has become the original in the eyes of the masses, I mourned the loss of Disneys position in my heart as the infallible creators of cinematic magic. Yet still managed to find some comfortin the sheer brilliance of Carroll's work.
Also, upon watching Peter Pan for the first time since I was about 4 I realised they are a bunch of racist fucks n'all.
(Cars is stull fucking awesome though.)
