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

@Goat
Nevertheless, the distinction that you draw between statute and common law is just not correct. Statues are laws passed by the legislature (such as Parliament or Congress); common law is that which is derived from the courts. They're both equally compelling.

Actually, the stuff about common laws applying to the human being and statutes to the person is simply incoherent - in the words of Pauli (in a different context): not even wrong.

*actually does some marking*
