46 Books That Changed the World

A more fitting title would be: &quot;46 Books that American Intellectuals and Academics Talk About the Most&quot;.<p>When it puts Diamond Sutra on top, I thought that this list is going to be interesting.<p>But then I saw it didn&#x27;t include Bhagavad Gita, The Quran, or anything from China or Japan- I was disappointed and saw this as another list.<p>There were other books that moved more mass of people, changed history in more profound and lasting ways thatn the ones listed here.

It is an interesting list. However, a better title would be &quot;46 Books that changed <i>America</i>&quot;.<p>There are 34 instances of the word America&#x2F;American in the article for 46 books and most of the authors on the list would be English speaking or American. As a result, this list provides a very American centric view of literature, history and experiences.
