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

I don't agree
that we are getting past religion. OK, some parts of the western world may be becoming more secular, but not everywhere - look at the hard core Christians in the US for example. And Islam is growing in popularity, I believe. Even the UK still has a monarch who is head of the state church.
Also, it's going to be a while until oil runs out. Yes it's expensive at the moment but that's not actually due to a supply/demand issue. It's artificially high because of speculators buying futures. And there's a lot of oil yet to be extracted.
