Can you name the most read books?
Quick - what are the 10 most read books in the last 50 years?
The answers may surprise you - I know they did me.
I asked my colleagues to hazard a guess, and a lot of them guessed the No. 1 correctly.
But the list is not without its share of things that make you go hmmm. (Especially No. 7)
The data is perhaps not the greatest. It's based on books printed and sold, so I'm not sure how that accounts for library borrowing and personal sharing, not to mention that I'm pretty sure some of the books people buy go unread.
In any case, it is interesting.
Check out the top 10 most read books in the world and see how many you've read.
