    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.

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

    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

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