Happy 2013!!! Today is the first day of Lucky 13. Are you excited? I can’t hardly wait!
I thought this would be a good time to start out the new year with a super fun infographic from Business Insider, The Top Ten Most Read Books in the World:
- The Bible
- Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung (aka The Little Red Book)
- Harry Potter
- The Lord of the Rings
- The Alchemist
- The DaVinci Code
- The Twilight Saga
- Gone with the Wind
- Think and Grow Rich
- The Diary of Anne Frank
Top 10 Most Read Books Infographic, via Business Insider
I’ve read at least part of every book on this list except for Mao’s little red book (and I think it’s fairly safe to assume I can continue on just fine without reading that little Communism handbook). 2 things struck me about this list:
1. These books are dramatically different. This is great as it means that there’s lots of room at the top! As a reading public, we aren’t stuck inside any one genre — we read lots of different things.
2. Some of these books are relatively recent, which means that this list is ever-changing. In a few years, your book could be on the list!
Have you read any of these “most read” books? Which were your favorites?
P.S. Speaking of the new year, there’s a great new year’s resolutions post over at bottledworder.
