"LOTR is the greatest book of all time." *creases the book spine* Edit: You do you with your books, whether you prefer it partially damaged to show that you've read it a lot or if you prefer it in pristine condition no matter what, that's up to you. Me not liking to crease books is passed down from my sister who has various books, some just as thick as LOTR, that have no creases whatsoever yet they've been used for over 20 years. Every time she felt like I was about to crease a spine or page, she would lecture me for it hard. Just something hardwired into me at this point. My whole family does the same with every book they read. As for the argument that they are for reading, not displaying, is it wrong to strive to want both? Books that can be read frequently without compromising its appearance as an ornament. That's how I like my books.

This has to just be English copies, because I could’ve sworn that Anne Frank’s diary is up in the top ten most purchased books since it’s been translated into so many different languages and it’s historically significant, the Bible and Quran also being up there for the same reasons and also because of how common those religions are Edit for a few things: first, I apologize, I thought Anne Frank’s diary was up in the top ten. I misremembered something we were told in eighth grade. It’s around number 15 for copies sold and 16 for most translated books. Still pretty high up there but not top ten like I thought. I apologize for not double checking that before commenting. Second, there was someone who misunderstood something that I said and apparently it was cleared up for them but I’ll also say this here to avoid further confusion. I was not trying to say that the Bible and Quran were the same or similar books, I was trying to say that they were both very popular because they are both from huge religions with lots of people following and practicing them, and both have been translated into many languages. Islam and Christianity are very different and I’m well aware of that. Third, there’s some replies saying hateful things about Muslim people. It’s awful and it sucks that there’s still ignorant people trying to spread their ignorance and hatred, but these people are unlikely to change their beliefs based on something that a group of people in the replies to a comment online say. Save your breath, don’t bother arguing with them. Half of them are just begging for attention anyway and it will take a lot more than just a few corrections or criticisms for these people to change their ways.

Seeing as your counting it as a “series” like counting all the Harry Potter books as one book, I wonder how this figure affects more serialized stories. If I recall one piece has about the same as Harry Potter, but one could argue that the amount of volumes inflated it (though most fans are anime only and don’t buy the volumes)
The reason why lord of the ring is so low is because they don't really care so they don't keep track. They can only prove on record they sold 100 million. When ask the family about sales they said they definitely pass 600 million.
One Piece I think is 10 mil less from what I believe? Not 100% sure but it’s definitely close enough to be on this list. Only probably is that it’s a manga, a more visual novel, than a normal book. We’d have to include Batman and like Superman if we’d include One Piece.
I disagree with your claim that most one piece fans are anime only, specially considering how awful the pacing is on the anime and in some arcs the animation is just bad sometimes they don't even stick to the source material which is why toei used to get a lot of backlash e.g. doflamingo finale and grizzly magnum with caesar. If you said most consumed the manga illegally then i would agree.
As a Muslim I know that every Muslim Home has at least 3 qu'rans so the number could be higher . And another thing is that the Qu'ran and the Bible both are very old so the numbers are probably way higher .

Fun fact: the Quran is the most memorized book in history. More than 10 million people have memorized the whole book at any given time in history after the 7th century. Today it's estimated to be over a 100 million.
@@leanhoven there is only ONE copy of the Quran. All exactly the same (unlike the bible). The translation however could be different and I guess you have to do your own research depending on which language you need it in. But I’m Arabic it’s all the same down to the the dot.
Most sold and most read are two different things. I’ve read the majority of my books through the library. Also, people lend books to friends. Some people never read the books they buy. Or they could read the same book 10 times over.
I don't think that makes a difference to the list though. Both are indirect measures of popularity. If a book is bought a lot its read a lot and vice versa.
@@edojaalexander That’s a valid point, except for the fact that the list isn’t about popularity. The list is on the most read books, not the most bought or the most popular.
@@reesespieces5386 there’s no other more effective way to record how many times a book has been read. It’s give or take. Someone could buy a book and not read it once; someone else could’ve read it 10 times. Someone could borrow from a friend or the library, while someone else could own multiple editions of a book. Also there’s more interest in knowing how a book performs commercially than how many times some random person has read one book.
@@edojaalexander But the first and second place are good examples of often sold but rarely read or at least read completely books. Where I am from almost every house has one or even two Bibles, however I only know of two people, who actually read them fully. Most just read small passages or just use the Bible to pray with, but don't actually know what it says. That goes for most Christians, as they often just repeat what they were taught, without ever reading it. Same applies in many cases to Muslims and even to Jews. Also the Mao book, had to be bought in China once for political reasons, but most people didn't or couldn't even read it. Another example is Hitlers "Mein Kampf". During the Nazi regime in Germany it was mandatory to own a copy, but nobody ever read it. So it was the most sold book in Germany back them, but most definitely not the most read.

Same with the Bible. Our school is just outside of a church. Every beginning of a school year and before school break, that Catholic Church and the protestant church beside works together to hand out free bibles for every children. I still have mine. 7 of them actually
@common_ studio's unless you’re talking about the few versions made that no true Christian accepts, no it hasn’t changed. The most common (and best) translations are all from the original text. KJV is good and still very common but the English is old so not everyone likes it. ESV is really accurate, down to each word, and the one I like to use, although I like NIV too. NIV is probably the most popular recently because it is accurate (it translates more in sentences if that makes sense) but also fairly easy to read. The Bible hasn’t ever changed, unless you are talking about the different translations, which only exist because the Bible is so old that the English language has changed a lot since it was first translated, and it would be very hard to understand. Plus, a lot of people use old Bibles, so it’s really impossible to change because any small change would be noticed by millions of people who still have an old Bible. Someone at my church has a Dutch Bible that is huge from the 1600s! Obviously that didn’t change, and I think that is the version they still use today.
@@jadongrifhorst6221 No there are version with chapters added in, taken away, changed, this isn’t translation, it has been physically changed. And this is facts
@@hassanmazza1831 that doesn’t mean the origins true version hasn’t been changed; it just means there are other versions, which I would believe to be bad, as you can’t subtract or add anything to scripture. Sadly, many have done that. One reason I’m not a Catholic is that they add a few books (maybe add isn’t the right word: they include books we don’t). Also singular chapters haven’t been added unless we discovered a more complete manuscript or something like that. Keep in mind it’s really old and the Old Testament especially has a lot of copies. We can trust those copies because of how much attention was payed by the Jewish people in replicating exactly what the original manuscript said, but it is a problem as it is with all historical documents, although the Bible is probably better than most. As for the New Testament, everyone has the same New Testament. Another reason the Old Testament may differ is that Protestants use the Jewish Scriptures, Catholics think a few more books should be included. Also, the translators/historians/scholars/theologians were very careful in their selection of what was biblical canon and what was not.
@@jadongrifhorst6221 Why do the early church fathers make references and quote from the deuterocanonical books than if they were added later? These books were quoted in the Didache and early fathers like Polycarp, Irenaeus, Cyprian, Clement I, Hippolytus, Barnabas, Augustine. They were also included in the earliest listings of canon scripture. The early Christians did consider them canon.
It used to be very common for devout Christians to have multiple copies of the Bible. There's different translations, editing, annotations, formats, pocket edition, study edition, young adult edition, etc., etc.

Technically, the physical Mushafs (A book with the Quran written in it) have, like the mayjority of other books, been sold at mass after the printing press. But realistically speaking, the actual Quran itself was being recited and memorised in its entirety, from chapter 1 to 114, by Muslims since the Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace. So if you include the many many Muslims who have been memorising the Quran throughout History, it may well be the most read book due to it being the most memorised one.
What? The Gospels ARE the greatest love story that could possibly be written. It shows the love of God for us. All of us have sinned and since God's standard is perfection, we all deserve damnation. We deserve God's justice, but since God is also love, He came down to us in the flesh, lived a perfect sinless life, was mocked, spat upon, beaten, and nailed to a cross just so that we can be forgiven. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ we can be made right with God. Through His blood we can be washed clean of sin, He took our punishment onto Himself. All we have to do, is to accept Him as our Lord and Saviour, put all our trust in Him, and repent of our sins which means to confess them to God and turn away from them.
No, it's really not. I'm not here to get into a theology lesson with you, but the overwhelming message in the bible is; "Love me unconditionally, do as I say without question, and dont stray, or I'll send you to eternal damnation and hellfire...oh, and dont try to understand why children and loved ones die, it's all my plan...tee hee" Gtfo here with your message, preacher

Idk I find "the stranger" somewhat overrated, but that could also be, because it's main character isn't as much of a shock anymore,as amoral / disconnected protagonists have accoured more after it's release. It's still a great book, but it didn't shock me to the core like "the fall" or to a fewer degree "the plague" did.
The Bible is also one of the oldest books in the world. Also being the first book to ever be printed. In fact the printing press was made for the purpose of printing the Bible but of course other uses came along the way. So not only is it one of the most sold. But most sold across a very long time frame.
I'd be surprised at that, as printing technology was first developed in China, before being brought to Europe. It seems the first reliably-dated printed book is the Diamond Sutra from 868.

Fifty shades in the young adult section is very disturbing because nothing in that book is appropriate for young adult (teenagers is my interpretation of that label). Readers are often much younger than the label so I know for a fact that young girls are reading fifty shades and that is scary. The sex is explicit and very messed up. The relationship is the definition of toxic. I hope they put a therapy book next to it.

If you don’t, you can still pick out the Gospel of John from the Bible which has been read more than any book in history.
Well, Maos read book wasnt as much “sold” as it was forcefully given to the citizens of China for decades. One of the most printed books perhaps, But was it also one of the most “sold”?
The most sold book isn't the most read book though. I'm thinking of all the ones hotels buy and schools crazy obsessive believers that buy a bible in all formats and editions. Also who reads and finishes the bible? And do they reread annually like I do with HP? But yeah, how do you then know what is the most read book? Surveys?
Reading the whole Bible with decent comprehension in a single year is a pretty big undertaking. It would be pretty impressive to re-read it in its entirety every year.
He never said it was accurate for the most read He just said most sold. Also ngl I have read the full bible through twice because I was in boarding school and ran out of books besides it :( same with most of the people in my year just straight up out of boredom. I'm assuming the same happened in most other boarding schools and since most of the high schools in my country are Catholic and boarding schools a surprising number of people have read the bible through and through. Definitely not top ten material though
It’s hard to really know because the Bible has been distributed far longer than any of the other books, and figuring out what is a sold copy and a given copy isn’t as easy as it sounds.
Well god did say spread my message world wide and they are, but it also costs money as well. But hey now we are living in modern times where we can read the Bible for free on the internet
No hate but just so you know, we don't "sell" copies of the Qur'an, in common language how we give it to people is definitely "selling" but out of respect, we don't say that so as to not imply that we are making money off of God's words. The money is given for the hard work done on the calligraphy because many copies are also hand made by expert calligraphers. Many mosques give them to people for free since it is God's words and they are for everyone to read.

This has to just be English copies, because I could’ve sworn that Anne Frank’s diary is up in the top ten most purchased books since it’s been translated into so many different languages and it’s historically significant, the Bible and Quran also being up there for the same reasons and also because of how common those religions are
Edit for a few things: first, I apologize, I thought Anne Frank’s diary was up in the top ten. I misremembered something we were told in eighth grade. It’s around number 15 for copies sold and 16 for most translated books. Still pretty high up there but not top ten like I thought. I apologize for not double checking that before commenting.
Second, there was someone who misunderstood something that I said and apparently it was cleared up for them but I’ll also say this here to avoid further confusion. I was not trying to say that the Bible and Quran were the same or similar books, I was trying to say that they were both very popular because they are both from huge religions with lots of people following and practicing them, and both have been translated into many languages. Islam and Christianity are very different and I’m well aware of that.
Third, there’s some replies saying hateful things about Muslim people. It’s awful and it sucks that there’s still ignorant people trying to spread their ignorance and hatred, but these people are unlikely to change their beliefs based on something that a group of people in the replies to a comment online say. Save your breath, don’t bother arguing with them. Half of them are just begging for attention anyway and it will take a lot more than just a few corrections or criticisms for these people to change their ways.

It is
Seeing as your counting it as a “series” like counting all the Harry Potter books as one book, I wonder how this figure affects more serialized stories. If I recall one piece has about the same as Harry Potter, but one could argue that the amount of volumes inflated it (though most fans are anime only and don’t buy the volumes)
The reason why lord of the ring is so low is because they don't really care so they don't keep track. They can only prove on record they sold 100 million. When ask the family about sales they said they definitely pass 600 million.
One Piece I think is 10 mil less from what I believe? Not 100% sure but it’s definitely close enough to be on this list. Only probably is that it’s a manga, a more visual novel, than a normal book. We’d have to include Batman and like Superman if we’d include One Piece.
One Piece has sold around 400-500 million volumes and every volume is essentially like a graphic novel with 140-200 pages
I disagree with your claim that most one piece fans are anime only, specially considering how awful the pacing is on the anime and in some arcs the animation is just bad sometimes they don't even stick to the source material which is why toei used to get a lot of backlash e.g. doflamingo finale and grizzly magnum with caesar.
If you said most consumed the manga illegally then i would agree.

@@leanhoven there is only ONE copy of the Quran. All exactly the same (unlike the bible). The translation however could be different and I guess you have to do your own research depending on which language you need it in. But I’m Arabic it’s all the same down to the the dot.
Well, isn't it required for all Muslims to memorise the Quran so that they can recite the verses during prayer?
Most sold and most read are two different things. I’ve read the majority of my books through the library. Also, people lend books to friends. Some people never read the books they buy. Or they could read the same book 10 times over.
I don't think that makes a difference to the list though. Both are indirect measures of popularity. If a book is bought a lot its read a lot and vice versa.
@@edojaalexander That’s a valid point, except for the fact that the list isn’t about popularity. The list is on the most read books, not the most bought or the most popular.
@@reesespieces5386 there’s no other more effective way to record how many times a book has been read. It’s give or take. Someone could buy a book and not read it once; someone else could’ve read it 10 times. Someone could borrow from a friend or the library, while someone else could own multiple editions of a book. Also there’s more interest in knowing how a book performs commercially than how many times some random person has read one book.
@@edojaalexander But the first and second place are good examples of often sold but rarely read or at least read completely books. Where I am from almost every house has one or even two Bibles, however I only know of two people, who actually read them fully. Most just read small passages or just use the Bible to pray with, but don't actually know what it says. That goes for most Christians, as they often just repeat what they were taught, without ever reading it. Same applies in many cases to Muslims and even to Jews. Also the Mao book, had to be bought in China once for political reasons, but most people didn't or couldn't even read it.
Another example is Hitlers "Mein Kampf". During the Nazi regime in Germany it was mandatory to own a copy, but nobody ever read it. So it was the most sold book in Germany back them, but most definitely not the most read.

@@lichking6335 how often do you read it? Just curious since most of my friends are Muslim
The Holy Bible is a best seller every year and has been so for hundreds of years.
@common_ studio's unless you’re talking about the few versions made that no true Christian accepts, no it hasn’t changed. The most common (and best) translations are all from the original text. KJV is good and still very common but the English is old so not everyone likes it. ESV is really accurate, down to each word, and the one I like to use, although I like NIV too. NIV is probably the most popular recently because it is accurate (it translates more in sentences if that makes sense) but also fairly easy to read.
The Bible hasn’t ever changed, unless you are talking about the different translations, which only exist because the Bible is so old that the English language has changed a lot since it was first translated, and it would be very hard to understand. Plus, a lot of people use old Bibles, so it’s really impossible to change because any small change would be noticed by millions of people who still have an old Bible. Someone at my church has a Dutch Bible that is huge from the 1600s! Obviously that didn’t change, and I think that is the version they still use today.
But do you read it
@@jadongrifhorst6221 No there are version with chapters added in, taken away, changed, this isn’t translation, it has been physically changed. And this is facts
@@hassanmazza1831 that doesn’t mean the origins true version hasn’t been changed; it just means there are other versions, which I would believe to be bad, as you can’t subtract or add anything to scripture. Sadly, many have done that. One reason I’m not a Catholic is that they add a few books (maybe add isn’t the right word: they include books we don’t). Also singular chapters haven’t been added unless we discovered a more complete manuscript or something like that. Keep in mind it’s really old and the Old Testament especially has a lot of copies. We can trust those copies because of how much attention was payed by the Jewish people in replicating exactly what the original manuscript said, but it is a problem as it is with all historical documents, although the Bible is probably better than most. As for the New Testament, everyone has the same New Testament. Another reason the Old Testament may differ is that Protestants use the Jewish Scriptures, Catholics think a few more books should be included. Also, the translators/historians/scholars/theologians were very careful in their selection of what was biblical canon and what was not.
@@jadongrifhorst6221 Why do the early church fathers make references and quote from the deuterocanonical books than if they were added later? These books were quoted in the Didache and early fathers like Polycarp, Irenaeus, Cyprian, Clement I, Hippolytus, Barnabas, Augustine. They were also included in the earliest listings of canon scripture. The early Christians did consider them canon.

What? The Gospels ARE the greatest love story that could possibly be written. It shows the love of God for us. All of us have sinned and since God's standard is perfection, we all deserve damnation. We deserve God's justice, but since God is also love, He came down to us in the flesh, lived a perfect sinless life, was mocked, spat upon, beaten, and nailed to a cross just so that we can be forgiven. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ we can be made right with God. Through His blood we can be washed clean of sin, He took our punishment onto Himself. All we have to do, is to accept Him as our Lord and Saviour, put all our trust in Him, and repent of our sins which means to confess them to God and turn away from them.

@@sherlockholmes5714that’s literally what surveys are for. Where you think they got the numbers of the sales. Push them down their ass? Use your manatee brain. It’s not that difficult
@@sherlockholmes5714to be called Sherlock Holmes you really are one clueless bird
@@sherlockholmes5714u cant but did u see how he just said 2-5 billion like 3 billion difference is nothing
@@brazilserver4432Doesn't matter if it is 2 or 5 billion. 2 billion is still the highest
Qur’an mostly is gifted cause we muslims believe that when someone is benefited from it, it would be in our good deeds in the afterlife.
Christians do the same with the bible. But not for our own reward, but for theirs. Cheers!
@@icarus6492 😂😂😂dude you can’t compare Qur’an’s memorisation with bible’s…cause Qur’an is leap ahead…only 5% of Christians follow their religion.
@@mak_1802 why are you so proud of memorization? Do you even understand what you’re reading?
@@icarus6492 cmon don't start an argument we are all brothers in the end regardless.
@@mak_1802 you too man
What type of bible? There are many updates more than iPhone omg. Ofcourse the Quran, it’s same from the beginning until the end of the world. Say something different in quran and moslem just know something wrong in it
Actually we don't use "buy" verb when speaking about quran, and most of ours "quran" books are donated from people, mosques and government
If you go to a book shop and pay for it then then yes its "buy" and if they are donated then someone had to "buy" them to donate them lol
@@AZOMBIERYO he means that there a lot countries that have ministries that are called Awqaf, they have their own publishers, they print the book and distribute it for free, it’s not a second-hand book. It’s brand new.
Rear title its called most read book not most purchased.
So it makes on the list.
Something in me died when you said LOTR and 50 shades sold the same amount.
fun fact: The Bible is the best selling book of all time, but probably the least read
The most read is the quran
Just coz u guys don’t read it, doesn’t mean it isn’t the most read, why get upset over it?
@@amaddison6245 lmao it’s a fact bro not an opinion, if you read the bible good for you. i praise you
This is literally the worst take ever. Even if only half of the sold copies are read it still is read more than any other book has been sold. That’s assuming you define read as cover to cover. If you don’t, then several million people in the US gather to read it every week. If you don’t, you can still pick out the Gospel of John from the Bible which has been read more than any book in history.
Well, Maos read book wasnt as much “sold” as it was forcefully given to the citizens of China for decades. One of the most printed books perhaps, But was it also one of the most “sold”?
That list is incorrect...what about Don quijote..
The most sold book isn't the most read book though. I'm thinking of all the ones hotels buy and schools crazy obsessive believers that buy a bible in all formats and editions. Also who reads and finishes the bible? And do they reread annually like I do with HP?
But yeah, how do you then know what is the most read book? Surveys?
Reading the whole Bible with decent comprehension in a single year is a pretty big undertaking. It would be pretty impressive to re-read it in its entirety every year.
He never said it was accurate for the most read He just said most sold. Also ngl I have read the full bible through twice because I was in boarding school and ran out of books besides it :( same with most of the people in my year just straight up out of boredom. I'm assuming the same happened in most other boarding schools and since most of the high schools in my country are Catholic and boarding schools a surprising number of people have read the bible through and through. Definitely not top ten material though
Bro there is a huge difference between 2 billion and 5 billion 😂
It’s hard to really know because the Bible has been distributed far longer than any of the other books, and figuring out what is a sold copy and a given copy isn’t as easy as it sounds.
the printed version has been around for about 700 - 800 years so that range is believable
Making money off holy books is wild. God must be proud of them.
Well god did say spread my message world wide and they are, but it also costs money as well. But hey now we are living in modern times where we can read the Bible for free on the internet
Books being "sold" is not selling a book that is trade for money
@@NewLightning1 Selling an item means you're planning to trade it for something. Otherwise, it would be free.
@@Highgirirl God couldn't come up with a better plan to spread his word?
@@ControlledBalance Christianity is a missionary religion, so Christians themselves spread the word
No hate but just so you know, we don't "sell" copies of the Qur'an, in common language how we give it to people is definitely "selling" but out of respect, we don't say that so as to not imply that we are making money off of God's words. The money is given for the hard work done on the calligraphy because many copies are also hand made by expert calligraphers. Many mosques give them to people for free since it is God's words and they are for everyone to read.
Oh shut up
@@IronHuncho and why should I when you're the trash talker here?
I love the Twilight Saga books🖤
Me too just because its bad doesnt mean you cant like it
The books are so much better than the movies!
There the best!!!
i never knew the alchemist was on this list, interesting!
It isn't is some random list he just made
@@aaronhpa yes it is...
It sold 20 million up to 2004.
Since then 50...
@@Snaakie83 there are many books that have sold more than 70m books, and for sure there are more than 10...
Jesus 👑 beats everything 💪🏼
Harry Potter is 4 not 5? 😂 Also, somehow you missed Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes? 👍
If he is doing serious then he should mention that one piece has sold over 490 million volumes don’t know if it meet the criteria though but the author is the 8th best selling author at all time
You’re not wrong mate
Read the title man, books, not manga/comic books
I think Tokyo Revengers sold more volumes now, I think it got 520 million
@@ijustwantthosecrunchies9257 no that's not true, Tokyo revengers sold more than one piece and aot last year but for all time records one piece has the most selling copies
@@prabuddhananda6677 oh okay, thanks for the clearup
The fact that The Wii and almost every playstation sold more units than game of thrones book is mindblowing
@D S reading fucking game of thrones isn't improving shit. Stop trying to pretend reading *any* book is superior to playing video games. Fantasy novels are for the most part just as useful for productivity as playing video games.
@D S dude, I said Game of thrones not some philosophical rampage wtf do you mean.
@@shivanshu6204 Games can do more good things than books (except some research but internet exists so it doesnt matter). The amount of ways people can learn and train their brain is astonishing. Training your deduction skills was never so easy as it was with games. Even learing games mechanics of a few games can make you better at math and quick thinking.
@@henrynutsy Games are not learning tools, and they are not nearly as enriching as books
If you play Assassins Creed and end up reading lot about history, then great. Games helped you. But if you just play Assassins Creed and consider yourself some sort of "history buff", dream on because video games are only holding you back
My books aren't read at all, maybe you could check them out. Anyway, great video. 👍
i find it hilarious that it goes
1. The Bible
2. The Quran
3. …. Quotations of Chairman Mao Zedong
Xd it goes from religion books to quotations of a random ass chinese guy
@Cristian Paulsen yes i dont know him
@Cristian Paulsen i need history class
About the Quran, you can not judge it by number of sold copies because it is always share freely
What about the hunger games?
It has been sold about 100 million times globally
Yeah sure just add to the list of shite. Twilight, fifty shades and potter and a Dan brown book!My god have standards dropped
