      @ whomever asked me about titles, I never named them. I couldn't bring myself to give them some cheesy title.

            The Bible definitely
            Roald Dahl short stories
            Reading guys like Palahniuk and Welsh were like an entry point into 'weird' literature
            Hiaasen restored my faith in funny books
            Anything by Elmore Leonard...made me love crime novels

                      "The Quran", the only book that changed me, others only entertaining.

                        I can't help it. Every time I pick up that book I convulse with laughter so much that I wet myself. That causes me to "change" my shorts.

                          Wow...so many memories with many of those books...

                          Here's one that made quite the impact on me (and one I enjoy reading to my newborn son now):

                          "Work like you don't need the money.
                          Love like you've never been hurt.
                          Dance like nobody's watching.
                          Sing like nobody's listening.
                          Live like it's Heaven on Earth."

                              absolutely! I think it's theme would relate to your musical tastes
                              "Work like you don't need the money.
                              Love like you've never been hurt.
