The Bible is also one of the oldest books in the world. Also being the first book to ever be printed. In fact the printing press was made for the purpose of printing the Bible but of course other uses came along the way. So not only is it one of the most sold. But most sold across a very long time frame.
I'd be surprised at that, as printing technology was first developed in China, before being brought to Europe. It seems the first reliably-dated printed book is the Diamond Sutra from 868.
"LOTR is the greatest book of all time." *creases the book spine* Edit: You do you with your books, whether you prefer it partially damaged to show that you've read it a lot or if you prefer it in pristine condition no matter what, that's up to you. Me not liking to crease books is passed down from my sister who has various books, some just as thick as LOTR, that have no creases whatsoever yet they've been used for over 20 years. Every time she felt like I was about to crease a spine or page, she would lecture me for it hard. Just something hardwired into me at this point. My whole family does the same with every book they read. As for the argument that they are for reading, not displaying, is it wrong to strive to want both? Books that can be read frequently without compromising its appearance as an ornament. That's how I like my books.
Most read and most sold is not the same thing. I imagine some of Agatha Christie's and Catherine Cookson's would be amongst the most read, as they are frequently borrowed from libraries.
@@some_icedtea5205 The art of war while a very quoted book is surprisingly not that read worldwide. It is alright. If you are into that kinda stuff it is incredible
Seeing as your counting it as a “series” like counting all the Harry Potter books as one book, I wonder how this figure affects more serialized stories. If I recall one piece has about the same as Harry Potter, but one could argue that the amount of volumes inflated it (though most fans are anime only and don’t buy the volumes)
The reason why lord of the ring is so low is because they don't really care so they don't keep track. They can only prove on record they sold 100 million. When ask the family about sales they said they definitely pass 600 million.
One Piece I think is 10 mil less from what I believe? Not 100% sure but it’s definitely close enough to be on this list. Only probably is that it’s a manga, a more visual novel, than a normal book. We’d have to include Batman and like Superman if we’d include One Piece.
I disagree with your claim that most one piece fans are anime only, specially considering how awful the pacing is on the anime and in some arcs the animation is just bad sometimes they don't even stick to the source material which is why toei used to get a lot of backlash e.g. doflamingo finale and grizzly magnum with caesar. If you said most consumed the manga illegally then i would agree.
Most sold and most read are two different things. I’ve read the majority of my books through the library. Also, people lend books to friends. Some people never read the books they buy. Or they could read the same book 10 times over.
I don't think that makes a difference to the list though. Both are indirect measures of popularity. If a book is bought a lot its read a lot and vice versa.
@@edojaalexander That’s a valid point, except for the fact that the list isn’t about popularity. The list is on the most read books, not the most bought or the most popular.
@@reesespieces5386 there’s no other more effective way to record how many times a book has been read. It’s give or take. Someone could buy a book and not read it once; someone else could’ve read it 10 times. Someone could borrow from a friend or the library, while someone else could own multiple editions of a book. Also there’s more interest in knowing how a book performs commercially than how many times some random person has read one book.
@@edojaalexander But the first and second place are good examples of often sold but rarely read or at least read completely books. Where I am from almost every house has one or even two Bibles, however I only know of two people, who actually read them fully. Most just read small passages or just use the Bible to pray with, but don't actually know what it says. That goes for most Christians, as they often just repeat what they were taught, without ever reading it. Same applies in many cases to Muslims and even to Jews. Also the Mao book, had to be bought in China once for political reasons, but most people didn't or couldn't even read it. Another example is Hitlers "Mein Kampf". During the Nazi regime in Germany it was mandatory to own a copy, but nobody ever read it. So it was the most sold book in Germany back them, but most definitely not the most read.
This has to just be English copies, because I could’ve sworn that Anne Frank’s diary is up in the top ten most purchased books since it’s been translated into so many different languages and it’s historically significant, the Bible and Quran also being up there for the same reasons and also because of how common those religions are Edit for a few things: first, I apologize, I thought Anne Frank’s diary was up in the top ten. I misremembered something we were told in eighth grade. It’s around number 15 for copies sold and 16 for most translated books. Still pretty high up there but not top ten like I thought. I apologize for not double checking that before commenting. Second, there was someone who misunderstood something that I said and apparently it was cleared up for them but I’ll also say this here to avoid further confusion. I was not trying to say that the Bible and Quran were the same or similar books, I was trying to say that they were both very popular because they are both from huge religions with lots of people following and practicing them, and both have been translated into many languages. Islam and Christianity are very different and I’m well aware of that. Third, there’s some replies saying hateful things about Muslim people. It’s awful and it sucks that there’s still ignorant people trying to spread their ignorance and hatred, but these people are unlikely to change their beliefs based on something that a group of people in the replies to a comment online say. Save your breath, don’t bother arguing with them. Half of them are just begging for attention anyway and it will take a lot more than just a few corrections or criticisms for these people to change their ways.
Christianity and Islam make more than 50% of the world. Hindus are concentrated only in India and Nepal. It's obvious why bibke and Quran are sold more
Hold on, with a lot of these books you added up the total of books sold in the series, but that doesnt really count. Harry potter and the philosophers stone was the most sold harry potter book, with only 107 million sold last i checked.
Fun fact: the Quran is the most memorized book in history. More than 10 million people have memorized the whole book at any given time in history after the 7th century. Today it's estimated to be over a 100 million.
@@leanhoven there is only ONE copy of the Quran. All exactly the same (unlike the bible). The translation however could be different and I guess you have to do your own research depending on which language you need it in. But I’m Arabic it’s all the same down to the the dot.
@@samielgo1 Muslim believe that when people benefit from your charity you gain reward (be it here or in the afterlife) that’s why they are more common to be gifted
Same with the Bible. Our school is just outside of a church. Every beginning of a school year and before school break, that Catholic Church and the protestant church beside works together to hand out free bibles for every children. I still have mine. 7 of them actually

Notice those who reads the Quran from the comment section, are bashing those for reading a bible. So much for “most welcoming” religion, yet shaming another religion. 😬😬
Add a feeling once you got up to Harry Potter I had a feeling number one was going to be the Bible Except if you're talking about the Christian Bible the jewish Bible was actually created first therefore it was read a lot more
@common_ studio's unless you’re talking about the few versions made that no true Christian accepts, no it hasn’t changed. The most common (and best) translations are all from the original text. KJV is good and still very common but the English is old so not everyone likes it. ESV is really accurate, down to each word, and the one I like to use, although I like NIV too. NIV is probably the most popular recently because it is accurate (it translates more in sentences if that makes sense) but also fairly easy to read. The Bible hasn’t ever changed, unless you are talking about the different translations, which only exist because the Bible is so old that the English language has changed a lot since it was first translated, and it would be very hard to understand. Plus, a lot of people use old Bibles, so it’s really impossible to change because any small change would be noticed by millions of people who still have an old Bible. Someone at my church has a Dutch Bible that is huge from the 1600s! Obviously that didn’t change, and I think that is the version they still use today.
@@jadongrifhorst6221 No there are version with chapters added in, taken away, changed, this isn’t translation, it has been physically changed. And this is facts
@@hassanmazza1831 that doesn’t mean the origins true version hasn’t been changed; it just means there are other versions, which I would believe to be bad, as you can’t subtract or add anything to scripture. Sadly, many have done that. One reason I’m not a Catholic is that they add a few books (maybe add isn’t the right word: they include books we don’t). Also singular chapters haven’t been added unless we discovered a more complete manuscript or something like that. Keep in mind it’s really old and the Old Testament especially has a lot of copies. We can trust those copies because of how much attention was payed by the Jewish people in replicating exactly what the original manuscript said, but it is a problem as it is with all historical documents, although the Bible is probably better than most. As for the New Testament, everyone has the same New Testament. Another reason the Old Testament may differ is that Protestants use the Jewish Scriptures, Catholics think a few more books should be included. Also, the translators/historians/scholars/theologians were very careful in their selection of what was biblical canon and what was not.
@@jadongrifhorst6221 Why do the early church fathers make references and quote from the deuterocanonical books than if they were added later? These books were quoted in the Didache and early fathers like Polycarp, Irenaeus, Cyprian, Clement I, Hippolytus, Barnabas, Augustine. They were also included in the earliest listings of canon scripture. The early Christians did consider them canon.
It used to be very common for devout Christians to have multiple copies of the Bible. There's different translations, editing, annotations, formats, pocket edition, study edition, young adult edition, etc., etc.
The gag while mentioning Twilight was so cringe and unnecessary. Any book that brings young people to read should be praised. Also, Stephenie Meyer is a good writer. But what can you expect from someone who thinks The Lord Of The Rings is the best book ever written, lol.
I think I read somewhere that the reason the Quran isn't the most sold book is because Islam doesn't monetise the religion by selling the Holy Book, insead they give it away for free 😊
The best novels I read are: "Stranger" by Camus, "Crime and Punishment" by Dostoevsky, "Castle" by Kafka, "Martin Kačur" by Cankar (written by a razor ...) and since I am from Bosnia I have to mention the marvelous " Death and the Dervish" by Meša Selimović (Mesha Selimovich).
@@oopiumosmo1062 I didn't get much out of it either. I think its all to do with his philosophy that's all about everything being absurd. At the end with the priest I felt he was trying to be profound but I got nothing out of it.
@@oopiumosmo1062 The most sensible theory about stranger I read is that the whole novel are protagonist's thoughts during his cell time... It's a long time since I read it. I was captivated by style and philosophy. It would take long to even begin ... The Stranger was actually a must read in my highschool.
Idk I find "the stranger" somewhat overrated, but that could also be, because it's main character isn't as much of a shock anymore,as amoral / disconnected protagonists have accoured more after it's release. It's still a great book, but it didn't shock me to the core like "the fall" or to a fewer degree "the plague" did.
Just to reiterate, the Quran is supposed to be donated and handed down, we are not supposed to sell the Quran. It is not considered right It's like "profiting from faith." Which is not good
Who the hell cares man? Quran's main objective is to produce more of your type. All it teaches is to convert everyone into Islam because it's a 'superior' religion. Islam is the worst religion there is. Y'all have 0 humanity, look at the Taliban who are the ones who are doing as the Quran real says. No women's rights, no care about other humans.

Suggestion: Instead of the all-famous Harry Potter (series of books, which I repeat is a series of books) which have been sold 500 million times, you could have gone for one book sold over 500 million times called Don Quixote. The book that you said which was Harry Potter is not a book but a series of books, and the title said 10 books, moreover Don Quixote is a literary classic which is 400 years old.
Technically, the physical Mushafs (A book with the Quran written in it) have, like the mayjority of other books, been sold at mass after the printing press. But realistically speaking, the actual Quran itself was being recited and memorised in its entirety, from chapter 1 to 114, by Muslims since the Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace. So if you include the many many Muslims who have been memorising the Quran throughout History, it may well be the most read book due to it being the most memorised one.
Another thing to consider is how much is resold as well. As someone who works at a thrift store, I cannot count the amount of times Twilight comes in. It's a small thrift store, but we have six books in the series out right now. And there are always more coming in. It just keeps on being sold and resold. Many of the others have come in as well, but none as much as this
Doesn't necessarily mean people don't like it though. I mean, I donated a paperback copy of Twilight because I had the rest of the series in hardback and I finally got myself a Twilight hardback to match.
@@CassTeaElle definitely! And even if they didn't like it, it doesn't mean it's a bad book. Maybe they just have different tastes, or they don't want to keep books around the house
Fifty shades in the young adult section is very disturbing because nothing in that book is appropriate for young adult (teenagers is my interpretation of that label). Readers are often much younger than the label so I know for a fact that young girls are reading fifty shades and that is scary. The sex is explicit and very messed up. The relationship is the definition of toxic. I hope they put a therapy book next to it.
Mind officially blown! These '10 Most Read Books of All Time' just rewrote the narrative of literary classics in my mind.

Okay let me just say this. Twilight doesn’t suck, it’s not bad and they’re pretty good books. The movies made everything so much more dramatic, like Bella and Edward were all playful and not so serious in the books whereas the movies…
What? The Gospels ARE the greatest love story that could possibly be written. It shows the love of God for us. All of us have sinned and since God's standard is perfection, we all deserve damnation. We deserve God's justice, but since God is also love, He came down to us in the flesh, lived a perfect sinless life, was mocked, spat upon, beaten, and nailed to a cross just so that we can be forgiven. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ we can be made right with God. Through His blood we can be washed clean of sin, He took our punishment onto Himself. All we have to do, is to accept Him as our Lord and Saviour, put all our trust in Him, and repent of our sins which means to confess them to God and turn away from them.
No, it's really not. I'm not here to get into a theology lesson with you, but the overwhelming message in the bible is; "Love me unconditionally, do as I say without question, and dont stray, or I'll send you to eternal damnation and hellfire...oh, and dont try to understand why children and loved ones die, it's all my plan...tee hee" Gtfo here with your message, preacher

Seeing as your counting it as a “series” like counting all the Harry Potter books as one book, I wonder how this figure affects more serialized stories. If I recall one piece has about the same as Harry Potter, but one could argue that the amount of volumes inflated it (though most fans are anime only and don’t buy the volumes)
The reason why lord of the ring is so low is because they don't really care so they don't keep track. They can only prove on record they sold 100 million. When ask the family about sales they said they definitely pass 600 million.
One Piece I think is 10 mil less from what I believe? Not 100% sure but it’s definitely close enough to be on this list. Only probably is that it’s a manga, a more visual novel, than a normal book. We’d have to include Batman and like Superman if we’d include One Piece.
One Piece has sold around 400-500 million volumes and every volume is essentially like a graphic novel with 140-200 pages
I disagree with your claim that most one piece fans are anime only, specially considering how awful the pacing is on the anime and in some arcs the animation is just bad sometimes they don't even stick to the source material which is why toei used to get a lot of backlash e.g. doflamingo finale and grizzly magnum with caesar.
If you said most consumed the manga illegally then i would agree.

@@razvanefros411 For the show doesn't stop until the last dollar drops.
Most sold and most read are two different things. I’ve read the majority of my books through the library. Also, people lend books to friends. Some people never read the books they buy. Or they could read the same book 10 times over.
I don't think that makes a difference to the list though. Both are indirect measures of popularity. If a book is bought a lot its read a lot and vice versa.
@@edojaalexander That’s a valid point, except for the fact that the list isn’t about popularity. The list is on the most read books, not the most bought or the most popular.
@@reesespieces5386 there’s no other more effective way to record how many times a book has been read. It’s give or take. Someone could buy a book and not read it once; someone else could’ve read it 10 times. Someone could borrow from a friend or the library, while someone else could own multiple editions of a book. Also there’s more interest in knowing how a book performs commercially than how many times some random person has read one book.
@@edojaalexander But the first and second place are good examples of often sold but rarely read or at least read completely books. Where I am from almost every house has one or even two Bibles, however I only know of two people, who actually read them fully. Most just read small passages or just use the Bible to pray with, but don't actually know what it says. That goes for most Christians, as they often just repeat what they were taught, without ever reading it. Same applies in many cases to Muslims and even to Jews. Also the Mao book, had to be bought in China once for political reasons, but most people didn't or couldn't even read it.
Another example is Hitlers "Mein Kampf". During the Nazi regime in Germany it was mandatory to own a copy, but nobody ever read it. So it was the most sold book in Germany back them, but most definitely not the most read.

I suppose having been the first book ever published on a printing press gave the Bible a leg up.
This has to just be English copies, because I could’ve sworn that Anne Frank’s diary is up in the top ten most purchased books since it’s been translated into so many different languages and it’s historically significant, the Bible and Quran also being up there for the same reasons and also because of how common those religions are
Edit for a few things: first, I apologize, I thought Anne Frank’s diary was up in the top ten. I misremembered something we were told in eighth grade. It’s around number 15 for copies sold and 16 for most translated books. Still pretty high up there but not top ten like I thought. I apologize for not double checking that before commenting.
Second, there was someone who misunderstood something that I said and apparently it was cleared up for them but I’ll also say this here to avoid further confusion. I was not trying to say that the Bible and Quran were the same or similar books, I was trying to say that they were both very popular because they are both from huge religions with lots of people following and practicing them, and both have been translated into many languages. Islam and Christianity are very different and I’m well aware of that.
Third, there’s some replies saying hateful things about Muslim people. It’s awful and it sucks that there’s still ignorant people trying to spread their ignorance and hatred, but these people are unlikely to change their beliefs based on something that a group of people in the replies to a comment online say. Save your breath, don’t bother arguing with them. Half of them are just begging for attention anyway and it will take a lot more than just a few corrections or criticisms for these people to change their ways.

Add a feeling once you got up to Harry Potter I had a feeling number one was going to be the Bible Except if you're talking about the Christian Bible the jewish Bible was actually created first therefore it was read a lot more
Hallelujah.
The Holy Bible is a best seller every year and has been so for hundreds of years.
@common_ studio's unless you’re talking about the few versions made that no true Christian accepts, no it hasn’t changed. The most common (and best) translations are all from the original text. KJV is good and still very common but the English is old so not everyone likes it. ESV is really accurate, down to each word, and the one I like to use, although I like NIV too. NIV is probably the most popular recently because it is accurate (it translates more in sentences if that makes sense) but also fairly easy to read.
The Bible hasn’t ever changed, unless you are talking about the different translations, which only exist because the Bible is so old that the English language has changed a lot since it was first translated, and it would be very hard to understand. Plus, a lot of people use old Bibles, so it’s really impossible to change because any small change would be noticed by millions of people who still have an old Bible. Someone at my church has a Dutch Bible that is huge from the 1600s! Obviously that didn’t change, and I think that is the version they still use today.
But do you read it
@@jadongrifhorst6221 No there are version with chapters added in, taken away, changed, this isn’t translation, it has been physically changed. And this is facts
@@hassanmazza1831 that doesn’t mean the origins true version hasn’t been changed; it just means there are other versions, which I would believe to be bad, as you can’t subtract or add anything to scripture. Sadly, many have done that. One reason I’m not a Catholic is that they add a few books (maybe add isn’t the right word: they include books we don’t). Also singular chapters haven’t been added unless we discovered a more complete manuscript or something like that. Keep in mind it’s really old and the Old Testament especially has a lot of copies. We can trust those copies because of how much attention was payed by the Jewish people in replicating exactly what the original manuscript said, but it is a problem as it is with all historical documents, although the Bible is probably better than most. As for the New Testament, everyone has the same New Testament. Another reason the Old Testament may differ is that Protestants use the Jewish Scriptures, Catholics think a few more books should be included. Also, the translators/historians/scholars/theologians were very careful in their selection of what was biblical canon and what was not.
@@jadongrifhorst6221 Why do the early church fathers make references and quote from the deuterocanonical books than if they were added later? These books were quoted in the Didache and early fathers like Polycarp, Irenaeus, Cyprian, Clement I, Hippolytus, Barnabas, Augustine. They were also included in the earliest listings of canon scripture. The early Christians did consider them canon.

Something in me died when you said LOTR and 50 shades sold the same amount.
The same book is in my college library. I have read it and it is good.
Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan has sold more than 250 million
Suggestion: Instead of the all-famous Harry Potter (series of books, which I repeat is a series of books) which have been sold 500 million times, you could have gone for one book sold over 500 million times called Don Quixote. The book that you said which was Harry Potter is not a book but a series of books, and the title said 10 books, moreover Don Quixote is a literary classic which is 400 years old.
Technically, the physical Mushafs (A book with the Quran written in it) have, like the mayjority of other books, been sold at mass after the printing press. But realistically speaking, the actual Quran itself was being recited and memorised in its entirety, from chapter 1 to 114, by Muslims since the Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace.
So if you include the many many Muslims who have been memorising the Quran throughout History, it may well be the most read book due to it being the most memorised one.

What? The Gospels ARE the greatest love story that could possibly be written. It shows the love of God for us. All of us have sinned and since God's standard is perfection, we all deserve damnation. We deserve God's justice, but since God is also love, He came down to us in the flesh, lived a perfect sinless life, was mocked, spat upon, beaten, and nailed to a cross just so that we can be forgiven. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ we can be made right with God. Through His blood we can be washed clean of sin, He took our punishment onto Himself. All we have to do, is to accept Him as our Lord and Saviour, put all our trust in Him, and repent of our sins which means to confess them to God and turn away from them.
