Goodreads: The Most Influential Books in History - Page 4

"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.
