Delirium Propaganda

Millions of people read second hand books around the World. The reason some people read is to improve their grammar and knowledge and some feel it makes them intelligent. People who just started reading recently want to know what the top influential books in the World are. There are hundreds of books suggested by many sources but I will just be listing the top twenty.

People have argued in the past why are so many religious books on the list but you cannot hide the fact that religion has always been influential in human history. Here are the top twenty influential books recommended by Seymour Smith in no particular order.

The I Ching Chinese classic texts, The Old Testament, The Way and Its Power, The Iliad and The Odysseyby Homer, Lao-tzu, The Avesta, Analects Confucius, The Upanishads, Hindu scripture, Thucydides, Works Hippocrates, History of the Peloponnesian War, History Herodotus, Works Aristotle, Elements Euclid, The Dhammapada, Aeneid Virgil, The Republic Plato, Lucretius Allegorical Expositions of the Holy Laws, On the Nature of Reality, Philo of Alexandria, The New Testament, Lives Plutarch, Annals from the Death of the Divine Augustus Cornelius Tacitus.

Yes unfortunately most of them are religious books but they do hold a massive importance on people’s lives. Here are some of the books I feel should be in the top 20 if not then top 50 certainly.

Married Love by Marie Stopes, On The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, Principia Mathematica by Isaac Newton, A vindication of the Rights Of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft, Book of Rules of Association Football by a group of former English public school men, On the Abolition of the Slave trade by William Wilberforce, The First Folio by William Shakespeare and Magna Carta by members of the English ruling classes.

If you have any non fiction books or childrens books or any other books then I would love to write about it in the coming future, please feel free to comment below.
