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

hippies unite!When I read this as a teenager I also got a lot from this book. The plot is terribly put together and the ending is ridiculous but the lessons being taught are as valid as any religious book. It was intended by the author to be more of a parable. In modern society we're moving away from spirituality, this book is trying to reconnect but without the misinformation and contradiction of holy books. As an adolescent, the insights give me a new outlook on some aspects of life, some things I hadn't considered before. And the question is asking about life-changing books, not book reviews. If someone has had a life-changing experience who are you to knock it?
Plus I got laid after reading it by the gorgeous dreadlocked hippy who introduced me to it so it has special fond memories for me!
