Let the dice roll
The book that changed my life the most? As well as my aspect on things?

That would be The Dice Man - by Luke Rhinehart (George Cockcroft).

The story is about a psychiatrist who found himself bored and unfulfilled with his life makes the choice of letting dice make all his decisions for him.

Whilst the book is a bit dark at times, covering sex, rape, murder, 'dice parties', the government and cults (well the sex and cults sound interesting), it really did rock my aspect on life, free will and predetermination.

Ask yourself why you make the decisions you make? What happens when you're indecisive? Do you ever have regrets?

Try living for a week where you have two choices for every action you look at, then roll for it... it makes life rather interesting. I ate some very strange breakfasts, went some very strange places, did some very abnormal things, luckily without resulting in arrest.

Oh and I love his psychological research initiative - 'Fuck without Fear for Fun and Profit'

I read this about a year or so ago, definetely one of the best books i've ever read i couldn't put it down! excellent choice.
I found myself considering using a dice to make some of my own decisions, i never did though, maybe i'll try it sometime i seem to have a lot to make at the moment.

Yup
Awesome book and probably everyone that reads it goes on a dice binge of some sort. We used to use it for drinking games at Uni and/or what pbus to goto/clubs to goto.
