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

I'll have to think long and hard about thisbut it has brought to mind a book I read billions of years ago in primary school.
I remember it as the first book I ever actually enjoyed. The story (or what I remember of it) centred around a young girl who meets a young disabled boy in her dreams. The boy is trapped in a house, while outside sinister talking rocks (or something similar) are coming ever closer.
The thing is, I can't remember either how it ends or what it was called. I remember it as being the first thing that freaked me out.
