If you read these, you'll only become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

Some libarians gots together to make a list of the books that learn us the most:

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Bible
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR Tolkien
1984 by George Orwell
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
All Quite on the Western Front by E M Remarque
His Dark Materials Trilogy by Phillip Pullman
Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
The Lord of the Flies by William Golding
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon
Tess of the D'urbevilles by Thomas Hardy
Winnie the Pooh by AA Milne
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
The Prophet by Khalil Gibran
David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Middlemarch by George Eliot
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzenhitsyn

Did you catch it? Look again: One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong...

Still nothing?

Check one more time...

Did you see it? Yes, one of my favorites being "All QUITE on the Western Front". Sounds like a great read.

Other then that, the list was quite funny in my opinion. I seriously wonder how they picked the list. After all, "How to kill a mocking bird" beat out the Bible which seems like it narrowly beat out Lord of the Rings. Now, I don't argue that the Lord of the Rings isn't worth reading or anything, but I found the order freakin' hillarious.

Somehow I would rate books on philosophy and life above regular literature, but it could be argued that LOTR would fit.

Anyways...

There's a list for you.

The list of books you should read before you die as per these people.

Yeah, too bad I don't have a copy of my own to read.

If only there was someone to save me from my predicament :-p.
