Since these are the bestselling novels of all time, you will not find any non-fiction, religious, or political books, like The Holy Quran, The King James Bible, and Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung. If we were to include them, they would be the top three in the order that they are listed.

I’m surprised War and Peace didn’t make the list.
I know of a great book that takes place in ancient Rome.

Rowling will pay 10% capital gains tax in the UK unless she moves her money to Jersey, isle of man etc for free then she’ll pay no tax at all. The USA is 15% and 20% in the EU, to call the UK tax expensive is wrong
AND FOR CHARLES DICKENS!
I had the dvc book movie and game. Hated all of them
the da vinci code was one of the best books or movies that i have ever watched and read
Profoundly depressed by some of these titles. Ah, well. No reason why the Bible shouldn’t be included as it is obviously a work of fiction.
Agatha Christia sold 2 billion, not 200 billion… Quite a difference there.
What did these writers do right? I want to know that.
I can read or listen to my fave books everywhere, anytime at the touch of my fingertips with this site “fetching lobon only” (Google it). Simple, stylish, handy. The Quality is Substantial! Once added to your personal library, the books are accessible offline making it that easier to access books you love at any time.
I’m sad King isn’t on here
The Alchemist is one of the worst books I’ve ever read, the English version anyway. I know I’m being negative , but you have been warned.
I love this book site “fetching lobon only” (Google it), it`s not hard to use and there a variety of books/documents to read. I am very happy for finding this website and you should try it as well. If you love to read than this is the website for you. I`ve discovered everything I`ve looked for.
I find it hard to believe that none of Charles Dickens other novels sold nearly as many as Tale of Two Cities.
actually..davinci’s code is on the top..plz check wikipedia
I’m only here because I’m a book worm
Rubbish
In terms of C S Lewis Magdalen College is pronounce maudlin, don’t know why but it is. Also The Lion, Witch & Wardrobe is not the introduction to the Narnia series, the first one was The Magician’s Nephew. TLTWATW was book 2 in the series. Get it right!!!
If you wish to read just about any books, you can accomplish it here in “fetching lobon only” (Google it). Right after looking for free books online, I ultimately found them all in one location, allowing me to save money from purchasing a new book. A great way to learn, grow, and imagine at work, in the car, and at home! I also love the books that I could listen to.
Hey, what about “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christie. It would be in the secord or third spot
i love the shade cast on the da vinci code :’D
Number 1 the bible
This is one of the best place ever for you to read any books you want, “fetching lobon only” (Google it). After searching for free books online, I eventually found them all in one location, enabling me to save cash from purchasing a new book. A wonderful method to learn, grow, and imagine at work, in the vehicle, and at home! Also I like the books that I could listen to.
I do believe that the book and movie “Clue” was based off of “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christi.
Use this website “fetching lobon only” (Google it) if you`re a reader. All kinds of subjects are located here. From medicine to history to contemporary literature , you can read every little thing. I just love it!! It has really exceeded my expectations. It also has all the materials my son should start reading. It will help a lot.
the tale of 2 cities ? really ?
I found that book kind of boring and dumb. Great expectations is much , much better.
Too bad so many dumb asses don’t realize “religious” books are all fiction.
I’ve read (and/or owned) all but #8 & #3 – an omission I will soon correct! 😉
The more you try to suppress & censor a book, the more you make people to read it. That’s why I laugh at people saying the Bible & Koran should be censored.
keep Narnia #frozen
If you wish to read just about any books, you can do it here in “fetching lobon only” (Google it).

The Da Vinsee code…
i stopped watching your video and hit the thumbs down button after when you said three disappointing movies based on Dan brown novels. Dan brown novels prerequisite is a minimum I.Q and i can tell yours is in negative.
I have read only three best sellers: The Lion, Little Prince & some chapters of Don Quijote.
