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

The roadRead this on a flight and its astonishing (and I read a lot) Cormac mccarthy wrote it (author of No country for old men) One of those books that stays with you for ages after you've finished it...read it, its quite short, you'll see what i mean.Also well worth reading is A million little pieces by james frey, semi autobiographical concerning his drug addiction and withdrawal. (sounds worthy and boring, I can assure you it is neither) He got in some hot water when it turned out not all the details he relates were entirely true, so read it as fiction and enjoy!

I have alsoRead "The Road" by Cormac MacCarthy.
My english teacher lent me his copy because I couldn't find it.
It scared the shit out of me.
Really enjoyed it though, and now I have both "The Road" and "No country for Old Men".
Excellent author don't you think?

CormacBrilliant,though he has been criticised for using obscure words, I think he's something of a prose poet. Paul Auster- have you read him? The music of chance and the Brooklyn follies are good. Others of his can be a tad "arty"
