I hope I'm in the theme here but I'm going to choose Alice in Wonderland.

Thomas More's "Utopia"- one of the first science fiction stories, very likely the first science fiction book to be published, and direct inspiration for the dystopian genre.

Oh, the Bible counted? After I read the new rules I thought it might not count for some reason.

Stephen Colbert's Alpha Squad 7: A Tek Jansen Adventure

I think this needs clarification. Is this real books mentioned in Fiction, or real books that are fictional.

[fionnegan]

or fictional books mentioned in fiction.

[fionnegan]

The Big Book from Mr. Magorium's Wonder Imporium.

[jesuszilla]

The Books of Bokonon in Cat's Cradle.

[hannigan_rex]

The Monstrous Book of Monsters from Harry Potter.

[jesuszilla]

Seduce and Destroy in Magnolia.

Was your original text supposed to read as below?

I'm talking special here, it has to have a good reason for being listed, not really good books. So no listing things like Lord of the Rings for being influential, or Harry Potter for that matter, or something being a bestseller for really long.

Since bestsellers aren't that special, I'm left to wonder whether you really wanted them.

It all boils down to "what is special enough" or "what is really grounds for calling a book special".

[hannigan_rex]

Yeah, a "no" can really change the meaning of something. I shouldn't misplace those.

I did mean what you said there.
