List of best-selling novels of all time?
October 23, 2004 11:34 AM   RSS feed for this thread Subscribe

IMDB.com has a list of top-grossing movies of all time. Is there a similar list of best-selling novels anywhere? The DaVinci Code topped the lists for ages...but does it approach the record?

There's this which is about books rather than novels (the bible being no. 1).

The question was also asked and answered on Google answers
here .

Why did that all come out bold? Hmm.

Um, The Valley of the Dolls is more popular than the Qu'ran? I don't think so.

BoxOfficeMojo, perhaps?

Yeah, that list has kind of a shitty organizing priniciple: if they're counting all the different versions of the Bible as one book, they need to so that for the Qu'ran, Don Quixote, etc.

"they need to so that for the Qu'ran, Don Quixote, etc."
