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

Nope, I'm straight.
There's a big difference between a graphic novel and a comic book- a comic book is generally part of a serial, a storyline that keeps going and wandering. A graphic novel is pretty much self-contained, with a definite story arc. Also, graphic novels tend to be a bit longer than comic books.
Graphic novels are a fairly recent hybrid of two art forms. For some people they work well, while for others it's a format that annoys.
Me, I'm not a huge fan of graphic novels- I prefer the old-fashioned kind- but I do have a lot of respect for them as a new art form. I hope they continue. Many people can be excellent writers, and others can be excellent artists- but few can be both. It's a combination of talents that I envy.
