We're lacking in feminist literature. Mary Wortley Montagu should probably get a mention somewhere... She didn't write a book per se, but no doubt her travel essays have been compiled into numerous anthologies.

Still threat'ning to devour me opens wide, To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heav'n" -John Milton, (Paradise Lost) |

Of course, within academic circles a book like Judith Butler's Gender Trouble has certainly created a sort of intellectual upheaval. But I'm skeptical regarding the breadth or width of it's social impact. |

Well, if Principia Mathematica belongs on the list, then, certainly, Kurt Gödel's Über formal unentscheidbare Sätze der "Principia Mathematica" und verwandter Systeme (On Formally Undecidable Propositions of "Principia Mathematica" and Related Systems) does as well. Thus:
1. Darwin, Origin of Species 2. Kant, Critique of Pure Reason 3. Paine, Age of Reason 4. Anon, Anarchist Cook Book 5. Hitler, Mein Kampf 6. The Prophet, Quran 7. LaVey, Satanic Bible 8. Et.al., Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 9. Marx/Engels, Communist Manifesto 10. Freud, Interpretation of Dreams 11. Rand, Atlas Shrugged 12. Stowe, Uncle Tom's Cabin 13. Newton, Principia Mathematica 14. Roth/Stone, Bridge is a Partnership Game 15. Marx, Capital 16. Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird 17. Mao, Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung 18. Hernstein/Murray, Bell Curve 19. Gödel, Über formal unentscheidbare Sätze der "Principia Mathematica" und verwandter Systeme |

In keeping with the recent above:
A Vindication of The Rights of Women - Wolstonecraft
"Torture doesn't work" lol
Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

Obama, "Dreams from my Father." OK, that last one seems intended to provoke. Also, Landmark, you can replace it yourself. Anyone can cut and paste and modify the list. That's my final version of the game. Let anyone modify the list, Wikipedia style. I still think we should reduce it to ten, though, because I was trying to mimic the "10 most dangerous books" list by producing a list of truly dangerous books. |

If we have a lost of just 10 to start, the replacement books will have a psychological disadvantage. One thing we could do is have a bracketed tournament...get it up to 40, then have randomly drawn elimination matches. Two books head to head...whoever proposed each writes a paragraph about why, and everyone has a day to vote for one or the other.

That sounds like a lot of work. I don't think I'll propose any more if I have to write a paper about it

Pakar, you certainly know what you are talking about.
How about another little book that is responsible for 50,000,000 or more needless deaths? Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. |
