most important book?

[Captain Mostly]

It's not a "religious text" though. So I think it probably is allowed to count.

The Gutenberg Bible for obvious reasons.

Wagner wrote tons books on non-musical subjects that influenced Hitler. He was big into anti-semitism, but I haven't really read any of his political stuff. But his writings were very influential on lots of people, not just Hitler. Plus he was a better writer than Hitler also.

What about Brave New World? That's a pretty good book, and I think it was the first to really describe that kind of a futuristic negative utopia. I guess it's not all that important though.

both Mein Kampf and what Wagnar wrote were products of the jingoistic, anti semitic elements rather than influencing them, though you could make a case that they exacerbated them. However, like many political works, they're symptoms, not causes.

Turning history into a comic book?

The Cartoon History of the Universe is absolutly the BEST example of this. Volume 1 is the greatest, volume 2 is cool and I'm going to buy volume 3 RIGHT NOW.

I've never learned so much about history!!!
