A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain North of Boston by Robert Frost Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle (+ the other Sherlock Holmes') Candide by Voltaire (was reminded by other posting - this is great!)

I read a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court when I was around 12. It was fun and fantastical, but perhaps I didn't absorb any deeper meaning because I was too young. I'm curious what makes it top your list?

  It came to mind as I recently finished a new Twain biography. As an old and very jaded tech person, I appreciate the idea of technology proving not a panacea. In order, I'd put it under North of Boston for sure.

  Read it again! It contains a lot of political commentary.
