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

Silly little "travel" books
by Danny Wallace, Dave Gorman, Tony Hawks, and to a certain extent Bill Bryson.

I know that to some people, the books by Wallace, Gorman and Hawks can appear to be a bit "wacky" but there is a lovely little charm in them that to me, makes them really heart warming.

"Join Me" is probably my favourite book, because I've always believed that acts of kindness (whether random or not) make the world a far better place. However, Join Me made me realise that there are other people out there that think the same way, and now I quite often make an effort to do something nice.

I also have a "join me" sticker on my car's rear window :P

My favourite thing to do is leave money in car park ticket machines, vending machines and shopping trolleys.

I know there are pages and pages of people saying YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK, but you really, really should.

I love Join Me
Also, Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure is rather cracking, too.

another Wallace book...
Have you read another of his books, 'The Yes Man' , where he decides to say yes to everything asked of him. Its really good!

Yes!
I have read Yes Man, and that's also excellent. Just pre-ordered his new one "Friends Like These" as well :)
