This is a question This book changed my life

The 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

The Argos book, 1997 Spring/Summer edition.
No, really.

My mum dropped it while i happened to be in it's vicinity.

As it fell, with it's many glossy pages filled with Elizibeth Ardens finest tat along with a fine selection of tube TV's (it was 1997) and Megadrive II's to name but a few of it's lamitated wares, I weakly made an attempt to escape from it's gravity-chosen path...

...t'was in vain. The 1100-odd pages of rack-stored homewares landed on my left foot, crushing my seemingly weak big toe. There was blood from the nail, there were cries of pain from 14 year old me, the were "Sorrysorrysorry's" from my old dear...but the damage had been done, it was too late. The toe, dear reader, was broken.

And now, years on, if the weather is cold and the trainers are tight my toe hurts...just a little.

Sniff.
