It's okay for you to change your list over the life of this thread.These 5 are after limited reflection and may change as I ponder the question further. They are in the order I recalled them.
1. Bible
2. A Man For All Seasons (the play) by Robert Bolt
3. Don Quoxite by Cervantes
4. The Art of War by Sun Tzu
5 The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck
I think the problem will be that 5 is not enough. For example, I would put on a longer list Common Sense by Thomas Paine and The Federalist Papers by Hamilton, et al.It's okay for you to change your list over the life of this thread.
I'm still pondering mine. After "Go Dogs Go" I'm having difficultly selecting and prioritizing the next four.
I'm a little surprised nobody has mentioned "Animal Farm"....
TWO people have, both in the last hour!
Yes, I edited my post to that effect and why I hadn't seen them minutes after my response "posted" (message says my post was made 43 minutes ago as I'm responding, my edit was made 36 minutes ago and your post 31 minutes ago)....IOW, your response was posted 5 minutes after my edit explaining that I had not refreshed the thread, left thread open and responded after leaving computer for half hour or so. OP made post last night at 11-something and the first 22 posts through 10AM this morning had no Animal Farm....
