Jay Whitten I have been searching for a list of the most important books ever written and am having no luck at all - the only thing SwagBucks does for me is a list compiled by Amazon.com (There is a button at the bottom of the list of 25 books that says 'click here to buy all') - any ideas?

I figured religion would dominate the list and - it does. The first science book on the list is barely in the top ten...
