Koran Overtakes The Bible As The Most Sold Book by stynhaq(m): 11:53am On Jul 16, 2015 |
The World’s Most Popular Book ISN’T Harry Potter (Or The Bible) Harry Potter devotees may fondly imagine that the boy wizard rules the world of literature with a wand of iron - but actually, he doesn’t. J K Rowling’s creation only ranks fifth in a list compiled by LoveReading.com of the most popular books of all time. The list ranks books by totalling the number of translations, the number of editions per translation, and the copies sold of each edition. Harry Potter only makes it into the top five by total sales of the entire series, jostling for position with religious texts and Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book, which was widely disseminated in Communist China. The Top Ten list is here The Koran – three billion copies sold The King James Bible – 2.5bn Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung, Mao Zedong – 800m Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes – 500m Harry Potter series, JK Rowling – 450m A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens – 200m The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien – 150m Le Petit Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry – 140m Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll – 100m Dream of the Red Chamber, Cao Xueqin – 100m https://uk.news.yahoo.com/the-world-s-most-popular-book-isn-t-harry-potter--or-the-bible-084319142.html |

As a Christian, I may want to purchase the Koran just to actually know what it really teaches, and to know if what the Isis and the book haram guys are fighting for. So maybe the Koran are selling more out of curiosity than religiosity. |
