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

Yet again, clicking "I like this"
seems inappropriate. As BGB said, I think there are many B3tans who are to a certain extent bipolar, although I imagine for many its not as marked as your condition. Certainly I can live medication-free, although continually going from feeling like one wants to die, to thinking that life couldn't be better, is a wearing process. And yes, if you have a relatively good brain chances are that you can run rings round counsellors so I haven't got comfort there.
But I didn't want to write about me - I just wanted to say how well you'd written this, and how much it's moved me. There's a line in Shadowlands - "we read to know we're not alone". I'm really glad that worked in your case. All the best
