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

I quote from your reply : "Voltaire himself liked it when his servants were religious, it meant he was less likely to get stolen from!"So, you're basically saying that people who do not share your religious beliefs are more likely to be immoral thiefs? That only religion provides morality?
Bollocks - just look at the humanist movement. If anything, religion gives you a better excuse to be immoral - as long as you repent, your sins will be absolved. Whereas if you refuse to delude yourself, you are responsible for all your actions, and there is no easy 'forgiveness'.
Also, why do you need the bible to feel hope, joy, love and self-control? Are you really that empty a person?
