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

Zen?Couldn't get on with 'Zen and the art...' but absolutely love the Aurelio Zen books by Micheal Dibden. I'm also a sucker for Ian Rankin's Rebus books [hated the TV adaptations! What have they done?]. There are some passages in the Dibden books that make me laugh out loud at the audacious use of the English language - I have to go back, read them again then read them out loud to Mrs G. If I remember, I'll dig one out just for you lot to show you what I mean. Meanwhile, if you like crime fiction and you like Italy and you like good writing, try them.
