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 Looking Inside Busy Places
www.amazon.co.uk/Looking-Inside-Places-David-Sharp/dp/B0015V9GXU

Sounds rude, but it was a quarto-format hardcover book with beautiful cut-away paintings of various large buildings, including airports, hospitals, railway terminii, even the Pyramids of Giza! I got it when I was about 4 and visually devoured every image.

Now I am an architect.

Perhaps lucky, as apparently at age 3 I announced I wanted to be a 'Vulcanologist' much to the bewilderment of my parents.
