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

@ThinkerMy claim isn't baseless: it's Ockhamite parsimony. Absent evidence for the existence of something, intellectual good taste demands that we treat it as non-existent.

@Vipros: The dodo point is exactly it. There is evidence that it existed - stuffed versions, testimony from first-hand witnesses, bones, and so on. Were there no such evidence, I'd be daft to believe in it for the same reason that I'd be daft to believe in the tooth fairy.
