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

Religion
ShortStormTrooper beat me to it, but...

Fact: "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. I was also a devout atheist already but it's comforting to know I'm not the only one who feels that way. Have since loaned it to a very religious friend, I said I wanted her to read it, not because I wanted to convert her to atheism but simply because I wanted her to understand my (our?) point of view.

Fiction: "The Bible" - some bloke about 2,000 years ago. The most amazingly stupid story ever told. All concocted to cover up the sordid fact of some unmarried woman getting knocked up! Sadly some people think this book is true!

I'm reading this book at the minute
I think I'll be finished tonight.

It's been very interesting, but has made me even more annoyed at Atheists.

Well-written though it may be, and though it may attack the Abrahamic religions well very hard, it's still left me completely unconvinced. Just because Christianity, Islam and Judaism are wrong, doesn't mean there is no God at all.
