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

« Go Back

Perfume by Patrick Suskind
And surprisingly I really enjoyed the film version too.

I've never known such an odd, visual experience... such a unique character and a truly bizarre set of events. The middle section where he becomes one with the inside of the hills and goes back into a feral state has to be one of the most incredible sequences I've ever read, and it's a translation so the original must be so much better.
