I collected what I thought to be the books that either captured the wild shift that was soon to occur (Common Sense, Civil Disobedience) or became the official book for something that has drastically shifted the world (Adam Smith, the religious texts) or changed our understanding of the world (Origin of Species, Relativity). Happy to hear they've made your reading list. I promise none will disappoint, each at least deserving of a look. Admittedly it was hardly a scientific selection process.
