HUMAN EVENTS asked a panel of 15 conservative scholars and public policy leaders to help us compile a list of the Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries. Each panelist nominated a number of titles and then voted on a ballot including all books nominated.
Prof. William Anthony Hay at Mississippi State, HOLLA
Why no Bible or Koran? Or does the list only aply to bookers written in the past 100 years?

lol bookers. I wonder what I was thinking about when I typed that.
Don't know about the Quran or the Hadith, because I don't read Arabic (and those are books I'd prefer to read in it's original tongue), but I agree with the Bible not being up there.

Most of this stuff is on my bookshelf, and the rest I'm kind of interested in reading now. Thanks!
EDIT: Holy shit, I can't believe Unsafe At Any Speed got an honorable mention. Yeah, dipshits, that book was so harmful it saved the lives of thousands of people and exposed the shoddy business dealings of the automative industry.

I want to read all those books now.
The fact that these people consider the books themselves harmful proves that none of them are actually scholars.
