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

One of the few for me......is 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. I don't think the film is better than the book, but also, I don't think that it could have been done any better than it was. Surely Gregory Peck IS Atticus? and the kids that played Scout, Jem and Dill were brilliant too, in fact my one and only gripe is that Tom's arm clearly wasn't caught in a mill as a boy.
Also, there's plenty in the book that didn't make it to the film, which means it's well worth reading in its own right, e.g. the bit where Scout goes to stay with Calpurnia isn't in the film etc.
