    (Not limited to) Harry Potter. I strongly believe that at least half of the for-teens trilogies has HP's timing, storytelling method, etc etc as inspirational source. It's like F.R.I.E.N.D.S from the literature

    The Diary of Anne Frank. If it doesn't make great impact in the world, at least it does to a class of underdog students (according to Freedom Writers).

    Going on purely fiction publications I would probably go for some of the more like dystopia type books, Brave New World, 1984, they had a real impact on the relationship between person and state and I think a lot of people really changed the way they looked at that as a result. I certainly did!


    Other than political or philosophical manifestos (communist manifesto, thomas paine's stuff, plato's republic)

    Orwell was a literary genius.

    I think the question here is what constitutes a 'book'? E.g. is Principia Mathematica a book? I wouldn't consider Marx's communist manifesto a book.. I see it more as a document.

    It would be interesting to hear people's thoughts on the matter!
