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

@enzymeI'm surprised at you sir!
Have you actually read it? I won't repeat myself, but have to say that ANY and ALL books, especially autobiographies are the product of the time and place that the author was born and brought up in. Their viewpoint may not be totally objective, but it is their's and, where an attempt at objectivity is aimed for, should be credited as such.
Anyway, it's a damned good read and was the first book I'd read about China from an insider's point of view. There are a few billions stories in China - this is one but it is a valid one.
