Electric Forest Festival :: June 30 - July 3, 2011 :: Rothbury, Michigan. 50 Most Influential Books of the Last 50 (or so) Years. In compiling the books on this list, the editors at SuperScholar have tried to provide a window into the culture of the last 50 years.

All the books on this list have been enormously influential. The books we chose required some hard choices. Because influence tends to be measured in years rather than months, it’s much easier to put older books (published in the 60s and 70s) on such a list than more recent books (published in the last decade).

Here I stand There is a story of a young, but earnest Zen student who approached his teacher, and asked the Master, "If I work very hard and diligently, how long will it take for me to find Zen? The Master thought about this, then replied, "Ten years . . " The student then said, "But what if I work very, very hard and really apply myself to learn fast -- How long then? " Replied the Master, "Well, twenty years. " "But, if I really, really work at it, how long then? " This is the dilemma I've faced within the American education system. Some of you may be thinking, "Well, if you pass a test, or become valedictorian, didn't you learn something?
I am now accomplishing that goal. H. To illustrate this idea, doesn't it perturb you to learn about the idea of "critical thinking.
