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

definitelya touch of the emperor's new clothes about some so-called classics.
i'd have to add "far from the madding crowd". i've always loathed that book. an entire chapter the man rambles on and on describing his painfully boring "hero".
THEN, to rub it in, he finishes with:
"in short, he was 28 and a bachelor"
well why not say that in the first place, you turgid old windbag??
