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

I had to kill a cat onceThis is a true story. A little graphic, so be warned.
I was walking to the shops one day, and I took a shortcut through a residential area.
Very quiet, no traffic about.
A cat ran across the road, only to be crunched by a van that came speeding down the road.
The van didn't stop.
I ran over to see if the cat was still alive or if I needed to take it to the vets or anything.
It was in a bad way, thing was shaking, and wheezing. I saw why when I turned it over. The whole of its chest had been ripped open, most of the organs had been mushed. The lungs were ripped, and I could see part of the heart.
I knew the thing was fucked, nothing I could do for it, nothing a vet could do for it.
It was going to take a few minutes to die, so I did the kindest thing, and snapped it neck.
Not a nicest thing I've ever done, damn thing tried to bite me. I didn't miss any sleep over it though.
