The 999 Most Popular Books in the World - Page 5

Library Thing is a website and app where 2.5 million people have catalogued their libraries. This a list of the 999 most commonly owned books and its in reverse order - we start with #999 and finish with #1. Sometimes there may look like there is a duplication eg "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through The Looking Glass" are listed as separate books but that's because of the way Library Thing classifies author's work. Enjoy!
