You could simply have said that you actually meant "Mein Kampf". I just saw a book title seemingly in a language I don't know which looked a bit like Dutch, and which somewhat resembled "Mein Kampf". How am I supposed to guess that it was meant to be German if you make three mistakes in two monosyllabic words?

The Art of War - Sun Tzu.

Orwell had some strange ideas. 1984 and Animal Farm would scrae me if they came true in my country. Geez.

The Book of Mormon is basically a falsified variation of the King James Bible. 90% is copied, usually verbatim, from the KJV. As for the Koran, it does not belong with Jewish and Christian scripture.

Most influential book: "Nineteen Eighty-four" by George Orwell- If you have never read to bad, its too hard to explain.

Any other suggestions?

Ecclesiastes, Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, The Plague, The Circus of Dr. Lao, The Lessons of History etc. etc. etc.

How about a more modern example - 'The Interpretation of Dreams' by Sigmund Freud.

Why makes you say that the Quran does not belong with the other two Major religion?

They share much more stories and have a lot of common grounds with each other than what they differ on.

Yes, On The Road, surely. Along with that, I'd vote for Tom Wolfe's Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, by the great Hunter S. Thompson.
