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

Earth's Childrena series of books by Jean Auel.
Written around a Cro-Magnon girl raised by Neanderthals and her continuing life story, it made me think of early man in a whole new light.
The characters even have a "creator" myth - and its a woman! Not having made the connection between sex and resulting childbirth, a woman's childbearing ability must have appeared to be some kind of magic.
There are five in the series so far, and I've loved every one.
Oh, and there's lots and lots of sex, if you're into that kind of thing!

Clan of the cave bear?Wasn't that some awful film with that tall blonde actress that played the mermaid in another film.

yes, they did make a filmbut having loved the book so much, I studiously avoided it. I try never to see films when I've already read the book.
