I guess that makes a certain kind of sense, but it's certainly a slightly misleading list. Besides... fifty years is rather tiny window on the world of literature (reading/printing) to base something like this on.

I've always heard that Don Quixote was one of the most printed/most read books of all time (aside from the Bible)? Any truth to that?
