50 Most Cited Works

Boing Boing pointed me to a list of the most cited works in the Arts & Humanities Index from 1976-1983. Not surprisingly there were a couple of Chomsky entires as well as Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" (the most cited work) which I had the pleasure of reading only last year as an undergraduate. Other notable entries include Being and Nothingness by Sarte (#29), and Levi-Strauss' The Savage Mind (#39). Although not necessarily a "best of" list, I'm willing to bet the books included were cited for a reason. I'll put them all on my "to read" list.
