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

I love to read.The Lord of the Rings. I loved it. My mother read it to me when I was nine, we were travelling and she would read it to me and my brother at night. It was the only time me and my brother never fought. Of course, once the reading to us stopped, we fought like dogs again.
A Child Called It, The Lost Boy, and A Man Called Dave. These three books documented the life of a guy who had been horrifically abused, reading it brought me to tears several times and really opened up my eyes to how lucky I am to have such a good family and how bad some kids have it.
Fever This is the book that made me want to become an oncologist. Having nearly lost my dad to cancer three times, reading this book (even though it's fictional), kinda made it seem like I could actually save a kids life if I got to work with cancer treatments.

Ive read LoTR once and started it about 3 other times. Trouble is every time I come to that cunt Tom Bombadil I want to vomit. He is so incongruous, its like Barney the Dinosaur being in Schindlers List.

hmm.I will admit that Tom Bombadil is not my favourite character either.
He just doesn't glue with the rest of the story.
