Descrizione
Amazon just released their "100 books to read in a lifetime." The oldest of which was published in 1813. That's a crying shame. Let's compile and vote on a list of the rest.

Spiegazioni
lorax : Thumbing down just to counteract psdavid's proselytizing. I think parts are worth reading for basic cultural literacy, but nobody likes being preached at in a forum like this.
aulsmith : Again, parts of it. But the whole thing? Knowing some of it was done from unreliable manuscripts? Nah.
psdavid: A book in two parts, the old testament which is the new testament hidden and the new testament which is the old testament revealed. Every one of the 66 books (39 Old testament and 27 new testament) interlinks and joins with every other, written in original languages by 40+ authors spanning 2,000 years and many cultures. A book that attracts lively debate as to authenticity and yet every day sees more of its writings and dates confirmed by archaeological finds.
: Why not read one of the better translations, if you're going to read the whole wretched Bible in the first place?

aulsmith : His non-English writings add nothing remarkable to the corpus I already rejected.

Veilleur_de_nuit: Parce que ces petites fables expliquent l'âme humaine avec beaucoup d'humour et d'à-propos.

cemanuel : Not knocking the choice but there's another version of this on the first page of the rankings. I'd suggest switching your vote to that one so one edition gets all the votes. I did the same thing myself.
