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 The book...
..that changed my life, was the one I wrote.

I would link to it on amazon, but then my precious B3TA anonimity would be gone forever, but I did write one, honest I did.

Anyway, cos of writing I met my current girlfriend who is perfect in every way and makes me happier than I've ever been, and we're getting a place together soon.

And then it got really silly and we've written a book together, and it's on shelves in September. Oh, and I've got my second book out next month which I wrote all on my own with hardly any plagiarism at all.

Er, except I can tell you which one it is either, cos then, y'know, B3TA, anonymity, all that....

I'm not very good at this publicity malarky - my publisher hates me.

This is a QotW comment Reminds me of something.....
.... that one of my first bosses, a former US Army captain, told me was common wisdom in that service:

"Blow your own horn or someone will shove it up your ass"

Why so shy? Tell us what the book is!

This is a QotW comment you could have
pretended it was your "friend" who wrote it.

If you tell us, I'll send you my publication list of dreary, dry, maths-filled, rambling academic journal papers. There's an incentive.
