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

Innogen's post reminded me.
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy - probably my favourite book of all time. I don't know if it changed my life, but it almost definitely led to the development of my bizzare sense of humour, which in turn caused me to meet most of my current friends.

Reading this has made me sad - I've realised how little of my time I devote to books these days. I feel like I don't have the time for fiction, but the only non-fiction books I seem to read now are programming books and car workshop manuals.
