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 Water Babies & Narnia...As far as I remember, these are the first books to have a major impact on me.
I have no idea of what age I was when I read either, but I know now that my young brain utterly failed to understand any deeper meaning or actually learn anything from them.
They did, however, set my imagination racing and gave rise to new fictional worlds even farther removed from reality than those I already had in my head.
Having grown up in a small village, with the freedom to explore as far as my little legs could take me; the very real adventures I shared with my brothers and friends became even more fantastical and (in my mind at least) would take place anywhere but the small corner of Wiltshire where I lived.
