Top 10 Most Read Books in the Last 50 Years

 
Did you see this? It is incredibly interesting.

I wonder why Muslims aren't pushing the Koran up the list. Are they reading less than Christians? Or did the survey slant toward countries more likely to have large Christian populations? It's good to see the Bible up there.

Some of the others are scary.

*Quotes from Mao, really? Does this mean they surveyed properly in China?
*Harry Potter? Okay.
*Lord of the Rings? Yes.
*The Alchemist? Is this because the self-help genre is so popular?
*The DaVinci Code? The Bible is almost 80 times more popular, but we are talking the last 50 years! The DaVinci Code has only been around a few of those. Does this tell us something about what people are reading to feed their spirits? Or destroy them? I find it hard to believe the DaVinci code is here because it's great literature.
*The Twilight Saga? I know little about this one.
*Gone With The Wind? Okay.
*Think and Grow Rich? Really? Top 10? Sad.
*The Diary of Anne Frank? Great book.

Is it just me or is it kind of weird to think that so many of the books on this list have very little value either for what you can learn or as literature? Thank God the Bible and the Diary of Anne Frank made the list.
