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

Big papery things held together with string (or appropriate bindings)Hmmm
The idiot (FD) - changes forever how you understand the way people see each other. Clever chaps these dead Russians.
Eat the Rich (PJ O'Rourke) - finally made me understand why all my uni friends earn a lot more money than me, how not to be bitter about it, and ways to mock them when they get it wrong.
A Certain Chemistry (Mil Millington) - okay, so the plot wasn't all that, but I learnt me some big scientific words to annoy the romantic. He does have a good turn of phrase though...
(You may thank me for my restraint in not listing "DIY Home sex-changes for Dummies", "Film ye: medieval cinematography", and "The bible")

A Certain ChemistrySome of his turns-of-phrase in that book were brilliant.
