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

The Book That Changed My Life...
hasn't been written yet - but it will be.
Let me explain. I'm a bibliophile. It's not illegal (yet). I've read at least 70% of the books mentioned on this QOTW so far and I'll probably end up reading about 90% of the ones I haven't so far read. But I'm straying off the subject again.
Anyway. The Book That Changed My Life will be a series of books written by me. It'll be a (mostly) true, novelised, account of the things I've either done, witnessed, or been told about. The working title will be:
On The Piss In *****
And the first one will be set in Amsterdam.
And, and I say with absolutely no sense of shame, I'll be ripping off large sections of QOTW answers, to populate my pages.
Rakky and the prawn "money-shot" is just too good not use...
Humpty-Dumpty and:
it's 1:16 am here.
have just shagged my mate's girlfriend on the balcony.. 'not good. not good at all.
miniskirts: great
too much drink: bad.,
Is just begging for a scene setting and, best of all, is anything from the "Heckles" QOTW. Pure comedy gold...
Cheers
Am i really will write this book. Honest. I just need the time....

^^What Frank said.
Very, very true. Just write...and believe me the busier you are the easier it is strangely enough. When I set aside time - a week off for example, when I'm going to Write...I end up baking, gardening, visiting friends, going shopping, reading...anything in fact to avoid sitting down and writing. However, when I'm up to my eyes in other stuff I manage to eke out small chunks of time - half an hour here, an hour there, and end up writing far, far more.
Just do it.
