50 Books That Changed the World

Over at OEDb (Online Education Database) they have an article about the 50 Books that changed the world. Among them are:

1984 by George Orwell
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by JK Rowling
The Bible
Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

In the article they have the top 50 split into categories:

Politics & Government
Literature
Society
Science, Math, and Geography
Religion

What books would you choose to put in each category?

1984 was an absolute classic.

What an interesting article! I'd have to think a bit before I could find any books to put in those categories.
