My computer went crazy when I tried to do this. So, I have voted twice. The first one is the Bible on my "real" list.

I think this is one of the few lists that I didn't add any books but going to check yours out. This is a good list.
In my cultural background it is. Maybe not number one but up there. I haven't read most of the books on the list so I have to go with what I know. What is on your list? I'm interested in anyone's opinions.
The use of the word ever is what is causing the problem - ever is infiniteAlso, the level of influence will be determined by the demographic of the survey population and the survey is opinion, if an individual who "reads" the survey doesn't agree with the survey response, say so once share your opinion and then shutup.
Everyone has an opinion and it probably does not agree completely with yours, accept it and move on.
That's kind of what I said. I haven't read all the books listed let alone all the books that could be.
Your list is so limited. I could add just a few: The Wealth of Nations: Adam Smith, The Spirit of Laws: de Montesquieu, Analects of Confuscius, Rights of Man, Politics and Poetics: Aristotle, The Republic: Plato, The Influence of Sea Power Upon History: A.T. Mahan...the list goes on and on. Why did you stop where you did?
You are free to add books on your own to these lists.
All you have to do is go to the top right of the page and type it in and then vote on it.

Wealth of Nations is on the list already, as is Plato's Republic, and Aristotle's Poetics.
