That's why the list is so bogus. Because if you are counting "most read" books, then anything like "Don Quixote" which has been around since what, the 16th century or so, will have been read by a lot more people than anything written in the past decade, even if the local library hasn't updated its copy in 50 years. Ditto "The Odyssey". Books sold and books read are like apples and oranges, two totally different things. A published or sold book doesn't automatically equate to a read book; I've got a couple hundred TBR books sitting around here.
