What is the most powerful writing you have read?

Re: Powerful writing

There are all sorts of powerful writing from drama and poetry to religious texts. When one considers that powerful writing exerts influence and judges the power by the writings influence on world culture alone I'd say The Bible ranks at the top of that list.

Thanks for replying! I also think that the Bible is very powerful since it still exert a powerful influence and it has survived many challenges and trials .

This is a great question which I'm sorry I missed before. I'd agree the Bible has a profound thought pattern unmatched. In more secular writings, I'd look to Shakespeare's tragedies, novels like Moby Dick, Crime and Punishment, Les Miserables, War and Peace, A Tale of Two Cities, and Heart of Darkness. As for poetry-- well starting with the Iliad, there are 100's of great poems that can spark one's soul into a deeper awareness.
