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

Codo: Ancient WaysI was given this book by a mate of mine when I started my teaching course. Basically it's book written by an Aikido teacher concerning various aspects of his life and stories.
I weas readign this while on the course and hit a real low point (not feeling I was getting anywhere and also having issues with the course).
While reading the story of a blind servant who worked at a monastery and wanted to become a priest and the advice he was given:
'You may not be a normal priest but you can become a real priest'
This really picked me up and enabled me to complete the placement and also the course, so yes, this was a life changing book.
Defo worth a read if you're interested in Martial Arts or in Buddhism
