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

The Silver SwordIt's about children who get separated from their parents in war torn europe. Loved it as a child. Hubby has just bought me a new copy which I must get round to reading.
Three men in a Boat!
Just for this line if nothing else:
'When George is hanged, Harris will be the worst packer in this world'

THE SILVER SWORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1We read this in my last year of primary school...it moved me to tears then...
I never ever forgot it.
I bought another copy a couple of months ago and read it aloud to my twin sons - they're the same age as I was when I read it.
I cried again and they loved it too.
