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

Sort of...I don't think it was done with character development in mind, but how the characters reacted to the world. I remember devouring it as a young man and wondering in the back of my mind the entire time, "why don't these guys ever go to the bathroom?"
What makes it big was it seems to me to be an attempt to reproduce the saga form of storytelling - and I think it does it well. It beats the hell out of Beowulf or Gotterdammerung, anyway.
