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

well......No book has really "changed my life", but as a designer and artist, "Ways of Seeing" by John Berger had a profound affect on the way I now interpret visual media; if you are involved in a creative industry, you MUST read that book!
Aside form that, "Next of Kin" by Eric Frank Russell - probably the funniest and most enjoyable book I have had the pleasure of reading. God knows how many times I've read it now, or how many copies of it I have picked up over the years, and I can't recommend it enough!
Oh, and the short story "The Statement of Randolph Carter" by HP Lovecraft - the only piece of written work to make me jump.
