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

@Goat
You've edited your post, but a moment ago you invited Chickenlady to "look into the IRS collecting taxes which go to pay off the interest on the loan supplied by the Fed Reserve made up of privately owned banks."

Well? What's she supposed to find?

Look: governments provide services. That means buying stuff. Among the stuff that they buy is credit. This credit is then used to raise funds to buy other stuff. What's the problem? There is nothing sinister about the idea of a national debt serviced by taxation - it's perfectly sound.

(Note that this isn't a convenient stitch-up. You, too, can buy government bonds that pay a dividend on maturity - in effect, that is, you can turn yourself into a tiny little bank)
