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

from memoryit was the afternoon of my 82nd birthday, and I was in bed with my catamite, when Ali quavered through the door that the Archbishop had come for tea.
It's a great book, worthy of re-reading, and if you like old Burgess, try his autobiographies.
Another great Anthony from Manchester is of course the late, great, Anthony H Wilson. His 24 Hour Party People book is very similar to the film, but still worth a read.
Will characters like the two Anthonys ever be able to be found again ? I doubt it.
Great men, the pair of them
