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

If nobody speaks of remarkable things
By John McGregor

A stunning story about an ordinary street in the north, and what is going on in everyone's lives. Very oddly, almost detachedly written, and yet gives the pleasure that is akin to hearing the first few bars of a song and knowing that you'll love it forever ("La Retournelle" BTW). Sensible twist at the end and heart-wrenchingly human.
