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

St.Custards...I went to Public School (yes, really - you'd never guess) and whilst a lot of the things in How to Be Topp and A Whizz for Atoms were a bit out of date, I can relate to the tales of facing the first XI bowlers (especially the hearty cries of advice from the sports master) and the fear caused by the wild Gerund.
I think that these books, along with the wonderful Thelwell books of the pony club girls are something that should be introduced to kids at an early age instead of shoving them in front of the Night Garden or sticking a joystick in their hand - even a student as atrocious as Molesworth has pride in his school and does actually try to work, even if he's inept. God help us, if Molesworth is a role model, but I can actually see it being the case....
