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

funny thing
but many of the great dictators were half-educated, sociopathic and generally utter tossers. But they rise to the top in the same way that managers do - through egotism, arrogance and intimidation. Hitler beats the Jewish scientist because the scientist is too intelligent and too cultured to have a stand-up screaming match with an idiot. But the idiot taps into that huge pool of idiot in society who'll believe whoever is shouting the loudest (and has the best PR).
