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

Calvin & Hobbes
That mischievous little boy and his toy tiger are my favourite "I'm not feeling well and I'm going to bed" books.

Lighthearted, funny, and (in my opinion) well illustrated, they relax me. Make me forget whatever horrible bug is overloading my immune system.

I've got my kids reading them as well now. Another generation suckered into enjoying books.

hobbes? I love the dad, Did you know you never find out the parents names. The older i get the more i feel for them!

I appreciate them more
as a parent. They remind me that kids don't do things to be naughty, they do them just because they're kids!

Good point about the parent's names, I'd missed that. Way cool dad.

I recieved
The three-volume box set for Christmas a few years ago, because all of my paperbacks were getting pretty destroyed. I can see a lot of Calvin in myself when I was a kid; imagination is an important thing.
