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

It had a Loch Ness Monster thingie on the cover.Truth be told I've read plenty of books that have captivated and entertained me and a few that have given me a better insight into the way the world is and was.
Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me think of a book that has genuinely changed my life. Except possibly for:
I was about ten and from somewhere I had acquired a book about weird happenings. I'm fairly certain I'd never read anything like it before. The two that stuck in the mind were the infamous vanishing regiment of Galipolli and something about a Roman skeleton that was supposedly roaming a museum at night up until it was found one morning with a blade stuck between its ribs. Bollocks, obviously, but at the time it was the most awesome thing I'd ever come across and it steered me into a lifelong fascination with fantasy, Forteana and pretty much anything else that adds colour to a grey world.
Pity I can't remember what it was called.
