Library of Congress Names Books that Shaped America

I am a huge fan of the Library of Congress (who'd have guessed!?!).  I had the good fortune to make my first trip to their National Book Festival last year and can't wait to go again some time.  The reading room in the Thomas Jefferson building in DC might be one of my favorite rooms in the world.  Tomorrow (June 25, 2012) they open an exhibit entitled "Books that Shaped America."  This is not intended to be a list of the best books in America, but those that have been influential in one way or another.  Therefore, you see books you probably wouldn't otherwise see on a "best of" list.  Examples include cookbooks, children's books and even a childcare book by Dr. Spock.  The Library is also taking suggestions for other books to add to the list.  Unfortunately, it's unlikely I will make it to DC before the exhibit closes on September 29.  :(

You can find information about the exhibit and the list of the books chosen at http://www.loc.gov/today/pr/2012/12-123.html.  I have read only eighteen of the books listed so I have a lot of reading to do!  How many have you read?
