Most Influential Books of All Time

So much of Western Society & Culture is inspired by the Holy Bible.

The Bible might not be the best book, but, it would be hard to say that it isn't the most influential book ever

Should give it a try. The symbol exists everywhere. - iliescu

There is no way that this isn't number one... - DieGedankenSindFrei

I can not say much thing about this Holiest book Al-Quran. This book is not only for Muslims but also for every human. And one thing this book is the only book which is not written by any man not even a single alphabet. I respect this book more than I respect myself

Like it says " this book can guide you and misguide you" don't read this book because it is too much complex for a normal person to understand

Word of God.. That's it

Word of God

Why is this even a debate? There has never been, nor ever will be a more influential and important idea in the history of this world. This single-handedly challenged everything the bible and all other religious texts have taught us. The theory (excuse me: THE FACT) of evolution is the most profound scientific advancement that the world has ever seen and never has any piece of work changed the way we know things more than natural selection that originated from this book.

Lit book

I would have preferred the Aeneid, but anything to get the classics on the list.

It was the first fantasy novel to receive international praise as a literary masterpiece. Even Beowulf (said to be the oldest known story in Old English) didn't get the attention it deserved in literary circles as a masterpiece until Tolkien came along and called it mankind's first fantasy masterpiece. - DarkMatter1997

The Book of Mormon is another Testament of Jesus Christ! It's True!

Such a great book!

How is this influential?

This Harper Lee masterpiece has been very influential in bringing about awareness of racism and inequality in the United States. I believe it was also influential in bringing about the Civil Rights movement.
