Goodreads: The Most Influential Books in History

"Holy books, political books, fiction, whatever. Which books do you think have had the greatest impact and influence (positive or negative) on our world?" (Goodreads)
A couple of repetitions have been removed. I decided to stop entering books as I neared "The Da Vinci Code". BTW, of those on the list, my own vote goes to "A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism" by James Clerk Maxwell.
