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

It taught me to stop taking life so fucking seriously. Sometimes acting on impulse gives you the best life. So what if run off on some mad quest? Isn't that what life is there for - to live?

And doing nice things for the very sake of doing them, not because you think some spaghetti monster will look kindly upon you if you do. For a short period in my life I gave flowers to Mormons, gave flasks of hot tea to the first homeless guy I saw of an evening (no matter what they smelled of).

I've fallen out of practice lately. I need to pick up the good book and read it again.

I'm on the verge of acting on an impulse (moving back to the UK after almost 30 years in France) and I need all the help I can get!
