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

Agreed
“I could make huge mental connections - leaps and bounds - and see patterns that no one else could see;”

Bipolarity can do that to you sometimes, I've myself experienced this many years ago and it's an utterly wonderful feeling. You really do feel like the sky is the absolute limit.

However the lows - and proportionately I've endured much more of these than I have the highs - can have you utterly convinced that are incapable of performing nought but the very basic of tasks. It took me six years of searching before my GP found a medication which lifted my mood, further exascerbating my belief that I was some sort of incurable freak.

I'm pretty stable these days, but there isn't much I wouldn't trade to experience that world conquering high once again.
