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

The book that changed my life...Was the Legless Autobiography with foreword by FrankSpencer.
Some of the critics were less than flattering, stating that it belonged in the fiction section rather than the autobiographical section, however these appeared to be in the minority as general sales seemed to be favourable.
I think the book has a lot of life lessons to be taken from it, mainly that even mundane experiences such as setting up computers for agoraphobic old ladies can be highly amusing with the right author and a few slight embellishments to improve flow of the story.
Franks foreword was rather shocking, but I suppose dead people need loving too.
I give the book 10/10 and it was certainly a lot more interesting than the recent QOTW topics.
