What book(s) have changed something in your life? Let's exclude the self-help and religious books that are intended to change you.

For example: David Weber's Honor Harrington series changed my daily routine. As she was being poured her first cup of hot chocolate I thought to myself, "Hmmm! That actually sounds good." By the second book, I thought "I much prefer hot chocolate to coffee, and my coffee is laced with chocolate anyway, so perhaps I should drop coffee for hot chocolate." The third book did its duty: I stopped drinking coffee altogether and now have hot chocolate with my morning newspapers.

So has a book/character/author influenced your behavior in some fashion?
