All of us love to read a good book, but could you name the 10 most read books in the world? Over the last half century, hundreds of thousands of books have been produced, but only a select few have become the most popular and most read books in the world. Here you will discover some of the greatest pieces of literary work by highly talented authors.
According to American novelist and publisher James Chapman, this is the ultimate list of the 10 most read books in the world over the last 50 years. The figures show the number of books printed and sold but does not take into account multiple readings of the same book. Mr Chapman compiled this list after completing a long project of research. He consulted best-selling charts and publishing data worldwide, mostly among books translated in different languages. Come on, take a look!
Number 10: Diary of Anne Frank, by Anne Frank
Number 9: Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill
Number 8: Gone With the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell
Number 7: Twilight - The Saga, by Stephenie Meyer
Number 6: The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown
Number 5: The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho
Number 4: Lord of the Rings, by J. R. R. Tolkien
Number 3: Harry Potter - The Saga, by J. K. Rowling
Number 2: Quotations from the Works of Mao Tse-tung, by Mao Tse-tung
Number 1: The Holy Bible
I must admit some of the titles shown in the list were absolutely unspected, and others were quite evident. However, I believe a few books here are still missing, such as the Holy Quran (the Muslim Bible), The Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follet, or Don Quixote, by Cervantes. What do you think of the list?
