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

Supernature, by Lyall WatsonAt age about 12, this sent me off on a multi-year dead end in my intellectual development. Psychic powers, life after death, pyramid energy, UFOs, von Daniken - nothing was too weird to be believed "because you can't *prove* it isn't true".
All bollocks. Luckily, amongst the pseudoscience, I kept learning the real stuff.
Thanks heavens for BBC TV's "Horizon" programme. The hatchet job they did on von Daniken set me back on the road to reality again.
Hmm. Now I'm all worked up. I think I may go and picket Boots now, for selling homeopathic claptrap.
