88 Books That Shaped America. On Saturday, July 7, 2012 · Leave a Comment. The Library of Congress has published a list of 88 books, all by American authors, that have shaped America.

Having read many of the books, I can see where this could lead to many discussions among friends and colleagues. Have a comment about this list?
