Moon is at it again, suggesting I share what I’ve read from the list of the most harmful books of the 19th and 20th centuries. Wee! Here we go:

1. The Communist Manifesto: Karl Marx and Freidrich Engels
8. The Course of Positive Philosophy: Auguste Comte
9. Beyond Good and Evil: Freidrich Nietzsche

(Ones that didn’t make the top 10)
On Liberty: John Stuart Mill
The Greening of America: Charles Reich

Of course, if we’re counting excerpts and skimmings, I’ll add:

6. Das Kapital: Karl Marx
10. General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money: John Maynard Keynes
The Origin of Species: Darwin
Descent of Man: Darwin
Silent Spring: Rachel Carson

But we’re not doing that, are we?
