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

Fundamentalist Atheists may be just as annoying as other fundamentalists...only they happen to be right.
Look, the logic games are fun and all, but in real life, if there's no logical evidence to believe in something, and the best thing that that something has provided is false hope, and the worst is the deaths of tens of millions of people, it's a good and healthy thing to go ahead and say that that something, in this case God, does not exist.
Sure, God could say "I don't exist, eh?", upon our deaths, but the only response to that would be "What kind of fucking sadist are you? All good and all powerful eh? Right, have you seen the suffering amongst your creation lately?"
God does not exist, he's just Santa for grown ups.
I hate to tell you this Virginia, but there's no Santa and no God either, just 6 billion people on the only planet in the known universe capable of sustaining sentient life, so rather than hoping for a joyous afterlife, you'd better make this a nice world for yourself and those you love, because this is all we've got.
