The thread isn't about “doing philosophy”. If you can't find to common denominator in—most of—those lists, you're a poser.

You forgot "Common Sense", the Constitution and her amendments, and the Declaration of Independence.
Not strictly philosophy, but I believe that if everyone read these 5 books, the world would be perfect, because their logic is absolutely airtight and accessible to everyone.
1. 1984
2. Atlas Shrugged
3. Common Sense (Paine)
4. The Reason for God (Keller)
5. Pilgrim's Progress

I'm so fucking triggered by this. Please go and read Brave New World.

true, I could of replaced 1984 with BNW, their messages are pretty much exactly the same. I just happen to hold Orwell in higher regard than Huxley.

>hold Orwell in higher regard than Huxley
How? Not only is he an inferior writer, Orwell thinks on a far more shallow level than Huxley. Also, how can you reconcile Orwell's relentless and tasteless socialist agenda with an appreciation of Ayn Rand?
