10 most harmful books (good for a laugh!)

Here is a list of the 10 most harmful books of the 19th and 20th centuries, as chosen by a panel of Conservatives. The list is hilarious, but even moreso are the descriptions and justifications for villifying these books. Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique is on there, for example, because she compares being a housewife to being stuck in a "comfortable concentration camp", thus denying many women the joys of the lot they were born to fulfill (I'm paraphrasing here - check out the link for the actual text). It's kind of scary because these people are just so out of touch with reality. It's still funny, though.
