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

Back on topic - honestlyOne book I thoroughly enjoyed recently was
Taming the Beast by Emily Maguire
www.amazon.co.uk/Taming-Beast-Emily-Maguire/dp/1852428961
It's the first novel by an Australian writer and it shares much in theme with Lolita and Notes for a Scandal.
It's been described as 'Dark, sexual...brutally honest'.
Certainly it's not the sort of thing you'd want to share with your maiden aunt.
