Having read and reviewed a few books lately I was interested to see which, if any, of the top 10 most read books of the last 50 years I had read myself. Jared Fanning has produced an infographic "based on number of books printed and sold over the last 50 years".
Of these top 10, I have read just two - The Da Vinci Code and Gone with the Wind. I have seen one Harry Potter movie, the LOTR series, and the Diary of Anne Frank movie, but not read the books. I have read small pieces of the bible. Of the top 10, I had never heard of The Alchemist or Think and Grow Rich before.
So - 2 out of 10 is my figure, what's yours?
7 out of the ten......love reading...always read the books over film versions....as An RE teacher I also had four years of scripture lectures...so thats sorted!! I haven't read the quotations from Chairman Mao,the Alchemist or Think and Grow Rich!!
ReplyDeleteJust 1 for me - The Alchemist.
