This is a question This book changed my life

The 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

On a positive note
...because so many replies seem to be along the lines of "I read blah and it woke me up to the fact that we are all mere pawns with our thoughts controlled by David Icke's Lizard Men".

I read "The Alchemist" by Paolo Coelho. What a lovely little gem of a fairy tale! You can read it in an afternoon, and it inspired me to get off my wobbly backside and attempt something I had been thinking about doing for ages but never had the motivation to start.

It worked out too.

It's the only book I ever read which made me rethink the way I approach life. And it's only about a hundred pages.
