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 Blood and Belonging by Michael Ignatieff
Ignatieff travels around war zones throughout the world and talks to people about why they're fighting, and discusses the nature of nationalism. A slightly-less-than-great time is had by all concerned. Young Donuts learns about people who aren't sheltered, middle class, self-centred honky trash, and changes (hopefully) for the better by getting interested in politics.

And now I work in a library. So i should know what all the good books are. Genuflect before me, mortals
