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

@ Loon
I feel JKR's work, while good for what it is, is ultimately derivative and overhyped. Sure, she got kids to read and all that, but if Harry Potter is must-read literature, a grilled cheese sandwich is haute cuisine. I do like the movies simply because they're pretty and the Latin is a nice touch, but, ultimately, no.

Also, I defy anyone to deal with rabid Potter fangirls and not become jaded.
