10. Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand:
Read it. Isn’t this like the Bible of the Objectivist cult?

9. On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin:
Just selections from it.

8. Les Miserables, Victor Hugo and A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens:
Had to read them for school. *yawn*

7. 1984, George Orwell:
Read it and Animal Farm as well. Eric Arthur Blair, aka George Orwell, must read for a political junkie.

6. Democracy in America, Alexis De Tocqueville:
Read it.

5. The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith:
Read it. But economic history is an interest of mine.

4. Moby Dick, Herman Melville:
Call me Ishmael.

3. The Art of War, Sun Tzu:
Nope

2. The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli:
Read it. All political junkies should.

1. Ulysses, James Joyce:
Ha. This book is unreadable.

OMG! I just listened to the audiobook of this. It's freaking scary how it compares to today's political climate.
