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

Does it Matter?By Alan Watts
Not all of the book changed my life but theres one part where he mentions how kitchens have become white sterile places with all the food and utencils hidden away behind solid wood cupboards and how absolutely everything we eat dies for us be it animal or vegetable and how we should learn to respect our food, prepare it properly and not hide it away.
I proptly gutted my kitchen painted it terracotta removed all the cupboards and put up shelfs with hooks, threw out everything ready made and most shockingly for me gave up being a vegetarian after 6 years.
I now prepare everything lovingly even making my own ketchup, all my meat is locally sourced to the point where the lamb and pig I ate last year were called Nigel and Steve. Not many people know the names of what they are eating.
So basically this book made me become a fucking hippy and I hate hippies!
Love ya!
