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 Giant Under The Snow - John GordonThis is one book that seriously freaked me out at about 10, with its tales of Viking warriors buried in Norfolk, waiting to emerge and fight again when their giant leader is resurrected during the Winter Solstice. To prevent this, three schoolkids must locate and hide artifacts that a warlock needs, but things don't go as smoothly as hoped. They do have a good witch on their side, who gives them the ability to fly...
For years I forgot the book's name, but remembered the author. Last year I tried again, found that it had been reprinted, and so I picked up a copy on Amazon. Not quite the same impact, but if I was 10-15 I think it would blow me away again.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!I've spent the last ten years trying to recall the title of that book!
All I've been able to remember is the cover.
You've really made my day!
