If you had to name the single book that most profoundly influenced your life, which would it be?

I defy my own expectations for a highly intellectual response and instead cast my vote for:

This book is about life and as I get older I find it increasingly profound.

The whole thing is brilliant but every time I pick it up I am stunned by the concept of The Waiting Place:

Sometimes we have been stuck in The Waiting Place for so long that we have forgotten we are still there.

To be happy, please don't sit around waiting for it to be Friday night.
