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

@Vipros - Atheism is not a religionAtheism is the umbrella to cover the thought processes that lead to a lack of beliefs in gods. It is no more a religion than pacifism.
You may not consider your atheism to define you; that's all well and good. It doesn't make it a religion, just something you are not concerned about on a day to day basis.
More vocal atheists are generally not those who are more passionate about their lack of belief (it is inherently something quite difficult to get passionate about) but those who are passionate about resisting religions impact on thier way of life. For example scientists who see religion attacking their work on false grounds; parents who cannot get their children into schools because they do not believe in a given faith.
Thiesm requires faith in in the existence of something unproven and unprovable. Atheism does not require faith and ergo is not a religion.
