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

This is a QotW answer Depenistration and pervy nuns
Two books.
"The Fog" by James Herbert, which I bought in my early teens. Ever since then, I've had an aversion to having my penis cut off by school caretakers with garden shears.
On an earlier occasion I had innocently bought "Merlin" by Robert Nye, which had somehow found itself in the teen fiction area of my local WH Smith. I was really into King Arthur and all that stuff and was shocked to find the book stuffed with knightly sex, shit-eating foxes, and whipping nuns. That's when I started keeping boxes of tissues beside my bed and started locking the bedroom door.
