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

Far From the Madding CrowdThomas Hardy's epic story of love and hardship in the Dorset countryside of the nineteenth century.
Or, thanks to a remarkable mix-up between the Wessex Bard's literary classic and the 1973 Sun Football Book for Boys, I grew up thinking this was the story of a retired footballer getting away from it all.
Live and learn.
