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

I often have more than one book on the go
but I do tend to be more into one book than the others...So for instance, at the moment I'm reading Tender is the Night, now it's good (it's a classic!) but if I picked up the Annie Proulx short stories I bought the other day I'd end up discarding the Fitzgerald because Proulx is more engaging. So for that reason I won't touch anything else until I've found out if Dick Diver (worth it for the name alone) does finally ditch mad but beautiful Nicole.
