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

Fantasy and Reality....I read absurdly quickly, so I've got through a ton of books so far and firmly plan on continuing this. Books are ace.
In terms of fiction, I loved Neuromancer, Iain M Banks' A Player Of Games and Gene Wolfe's Book Of The New Sun, just because all of them added something new and amazing to the S/F genre.
For Non-fiction, again it's a collection of three books - Pete Carrols Liber Null, Dave Lee's Chaotopia and The Principia Discordia. Just for showing me that Occultism didn't all have to be serious men in robes and for giving me the tools and the mindset to change my life completely, from a depressed wreck just barely struggling on at the fringes to someone more or less in control and blissfully happy with my other half, when 4 years ago I was convinced that no-one could ever notice me.
