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

25-30...because i am now aged and can't actually remember if i read some of those or not ... have actually started another half dozen but not finished them ... some for reasons of laziness (Remembrance of Things Past, Ulysses), others because they were overhyped 'canon of Eng lit' tedium (Remains of the Day) ... and like many other replies in this thread i think the choice of material is a bit weird (Tolstoy? Jane Austen? where's Homage to Catalonia? The Quiet American? Scoop? anything by Jared Diamond? etc) ...
