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

I've always found Phillip K Dick to be a writer with mind-blowing ideasbut he's a terrible storyteller.
Plots are usually thrown together with little to no structure and his characters are often quite two-dimensional.
Don't get me wrong, I love his work, I just don't think he's the greatest writer ever. He's one of the greatest conceptualisers (Is that a real word?) in Sci Fi though - right up there with Clark and Asimov.
