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

*click*What Kaol said ^^
I think that reading should be beneficial. Since you're going to the effort of poring through the text, you should certainly gain some sort of benefit. Although it's not actually tangible, knowledge of explosives or even something shite like cake decorating for that matter is something you can take with you as a benefit of having read a book.
I've read plenty of fiction (usually on beach holidays, bored, before I found fishing) and gave it up for the sole reason that one is much the same as the other. Good authors can keep you amused with clever quips or witty lines but great authors are those who actually give you something to take with you.
Just my humble.....
