The top 10 books in the Modern Library list you like to quote has four Ayn Rand novels and three L. Ron Hubbards. Not much of a list. I don’t like Ayn Rand because unlike her and her followers, I have a moral compass.
The Catcher In The Rye influenced generations of young people.

I think the Bro Code should be in this list. That is hands down the most influential book to follow now.

Atlas Shrugged is a piece of crap. And it is not true about Pitt and Joli being fans of it.

Guys, please stop griping about “Atlas Shrugged” and “Mein Kampf”. I read and hated both books(in the case of “Mein Kampf” English translation and original German), but I would not say they were not influential. That is ludicrous.

thanks for putting the Origin of the Species on here. I’m a bio nerd and that is a big one for me. I most certainly agree with the Bible and the Communist Manifesto. I’d also include Mein Kampf. Even though it was Hitler and it’s subject was absolutely revolting, it still contributed to creating a following of Hitler.

What about Newton’s “Principia” or Galileo’s “Starry Messenger?” These books did a heck of a lot more to change the world than half the books on this list. Get an education.

I believe Ayn Rand is a goddess… Honestly, the ideas she had created into various forms… ideas that I would never even think about are extra ordinary.
