Who else loves the story of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza?
I thought is was kind of repetitive and boring.
Definitely the best book on the list. I’m shocked that Anna Karenina isn’t on there.
@@darinbarton3417 I haven't heard this yet, I'll look it up!
Just read it, such a beautiful book. Definitely the most dense book I’ve read so far however.
I studied it in school it was hilarious
As someone who's working tirelessly on a series of books and other projects, I can't help but admire many of the books on this list for a multitude of reasons. I've only gotten two sales on my first book, yet the passion the authors of many of these works had is something that keeps me going. I know I'll never be among their ranks, though if I can just be as caring to my books as they were to theirs, that's enough for me. It's a great inspiration. Thanks for the video friend! God bless!
I am really thankful to youtube that this video has reached to someone who is willing to watch and want to learn.
Hope you will get rank in best selling books just keep writing and never lose hope.
My best wishes are with you bro.
@@universecomparison3d That means so much! Your reply really pumps me up. I'm going to keep at it! And keep putting out videos, I'm happy I clicked on this one!
As a writer and future author I wish you good luck with publishing and your career as an author.

Don Quijote is my fav book of all time, I read it every year and I have 7 different versiona of it. It's a healing story 😭❤️❤️
@@jackdotblue well, you know preferences are subjective 👀 I think you are missing the best story ever made, but your choice. More Quijote to me ☺️
i'm Reading don Quijote now , and it's so cool !!!!!
@@sanssucreajoute6554 yeeey, i'm so happy that you are liking it ☺👏🏻
What is weird is if you look on Wikipedia don quixote isn’t put as the top book it isn’t even on the list tale of two cities is at the top. I’m unsure why they didn’t put it on the list? Maybe no one has edited it still.
Reading Don Quixote as a kid in Spanish was traumatic. I remember not understanding even the best translations and I speak Spanish as my mother tongue 😭
It's because the book is in ancient spanish
You can get a version that has difficult words explained at the bottom of the page. Like the one put out by the Real Academia Española.
Es mi libro favorito, lo leí dos veces y planeo hacerlo una tercera.
You must be overthinking it too much just read it and enjoy the story. Im reading it and i present no problems, yes there are weird parts but if you try to make sense of them softly youll get the meaning of whats written
Es lo que tiene el español antiguo.

Dickens was as famous in his day, as some of the modern authors on this list, so it's good that one of his books is in this list. I have no doubt that others are in the top 100.
I know in many US high schools Great Expectations was required reading for many years.
I’d never imagine Don Quixote and A Tale of Two Cities to be so high in the list
They're classics, prescribed in every literature syllabus around the world.
Да, в России эту книгу Дон Кихот, любят!!!
@@user-ys7me8zd8t Yeah, I know, but I wouldn't think they'd be in the top 3, you know. I actually find that interesting.
@user-ys7me8zd8t not really. Neither of them were part of my curriculum at least. I did read two cities before but didn't realise upto now that don quixote was this big
They might not be required every time but they would be picks often enough for many a literature class. Though I kinda would have thought Great Expectations or Oliver Twist to be Dicken's best seller.
I understand leaving out religious holy books since those aren’t considered works of fiction, but I think the Pilgrim’s Progress deserves a spot on this list.
Technically thats fiction with inspiration/themes from the Bible, so it totally should've been on the list.
PIlgrim's Progress 250 million copies sold
Can’t wait for an atheist to reply to this comment with a really cringey quip
@fearlessabiter2secondchannel I know the Bible isn't fiction, I'm a Christian lol. I was talking about the Pilgrim's Progress which the og commenter mentioned.
The Alchemist is undeserving of such an honor.
undeserving? or deserving
It well and truly sucked.
Agreed...overrated asffff
I'm Brazilian and here it's not a famous book, it's just being known for being one of the best sellers in the world, but most people have never read it
@@matheusapx
I'm brazilian and i read it in the original language... I thought it was entertaining, well written but I'd say it's a bit overrated for sure
"The Kid Gallagher Story "
A little known gem. It's more than a tale of a boy and his pet bear. So much more! Critics will dismiss it, libraries may ban it. Women will read it every night before bedtime.

Lord Of The Rings is GOAT
Very good my friend 🙏
According to Guinness World Records as of 1995, the Bible is the best-selling book of all time with an estimated 5 billion copies sold and distributed. Sales estimates for other printed religious texts include at least 800 million copies for the Qur'an and 190 million copies for the Book of Mormon.

Are you kidding me, where is the Bible??? What about Sienkiewicz's Quo Vadis? after all, this book has been published in over 54 languages of the world, in over 70 countries in at least a few reissues. That alone would put this book in the middle of the list

@@ReligionOfSacrifice no son considerados libros 📚 🙄
@@adrianbello901, Bible means book; however, it is many authors inspired by Yahweh and so hard to rate to other books.
The Quran has ancient language at the top of chapters (Surah) which declare the intent of the Surah and often that intent implies wickedness.
The Bhagavad Gita by comparison is likely preserving a religious system which was wiped off the region of India through writing. Shiva severes off his genitals upon seeing Himself in human form (his generations were cut off the Earth) and his wife rides a bull desiring blood sacrifice (the church needs the blood of Christ Jesus to wipe away their sins) and the bull is holy and thus must not be sacrificed. We really don't want the Persian people of Elam to come back and do holocaust in India and so forbidding it might be wise.
A wicked son requires the demon hoard to help him do holocaust and a good son desires Shiva join him in the battle only to lose on this world, but gain the eternal life. Such stories illustrate a belief in something like blood sacrifice for sins for righteousness and suffering for it, as you are not above your master who also suffers. The Sabeans of the first chapter of Job and praised in the Quran might put a moon as their symbol (a lesser light to rule the darkness) and do holocaust per the cuneiform on the righteous and their lineage.

Bcz tolkien has just 2 books ( Eventually they were split up and a few movies were made) but if u add up the collection of other books for example HP then you'll know Tolkien is not ruling the list rather he is very low in the list.
@@RudrakshSingh-qq5pyfor a list of highest selling book series, I definitely agree! However, a cursory skim of the wikipedia page for “list of best-selling books” lists The Hobbit as the 6th highest selling individual book of all time, and the 4th highest selling individual book of all time written in English
@@RudrakshSingh-qq5py Tolkien holds both 7th and 4th place in the top 10 of the best selling books of all time, and he is the father of high fantasy, so yeah, he is ruling the fuck out of the list

Some of these books are in the market longer than others, what is the time limit for counting the number sold? It would be interesting to know.
why would there be a limit?
JK Rowling still rules this list and her books are the youngest on here

Agatha Christie was only outsold by Shakespeare and the Bible which is the most printed book of all time
Actually, Christie is first only behind the Bible. She is then followed by Vernes and only then by Shakespeare
@@luiscaetano6184 it’s unknown if Christie or Shakespeare sold more, most source just say between 2-4 billion for both of them
Yes but this list isn't talking about authors that sold the most. They are talking about specific books. Agatha Christy overall sold more books but apparently only one of her books made it onto this list. Interesting, to say the least.
@@sheshotjfk8375 That’s because she wrote about 2 million books over the course of her life. She really brute forced her way onto lists by writing a ton of children’s books that didn’t sell that well individually but together add up to quite a lot. She targeted the lowest common denominator as far as audiences go and it worked.
@@DovahFett Agatha Christie didn't write children's books. She wrote adult murder mysteries. I can't speak to the quality of them, I haven't read any myself. But from what I understand they were pretty popular when she was alive.

Sleep with your comment loool
The didn't include it because there are so many different versions.
One of the best fantasy books I've read
@@Kr1stmas Not exactly fantasy, but written by Bronze Age people, who knew nothing about science. Anyway, I believe it was omitted because there are so many versions. Do you know if that applies to the Quran too?
Although the LOTR graphic showed Fellowship of the Ring, I'm guessing by the absence of The Two Towers and Return of the King that the statistic was for all 3 books, which you can actually buy together to make one massive book!
It was actually intended to be one book in the first place; the only reason it was printed as three books initially was due to paper shortages after WW2. So it makes sense to consider the one book version "canonical".
The books have often been sold as just one book, as they were originally written. The origin publisher splitter it into three parts but it was always clear it was just one book. However, after the films, they have been printed separately more often than not, so I don't know how they count that.
The first volume of a trilogy is always the best-seller of the three. Its readership includes all those who decide not to continue with the trilogy.
No Stephen King? wtf
His books together have sold a lot, but I don't think any one book of his has sold nearly as many as these books.
His highest selling book is The Shining at 500,000 to 700,000 copies sold.
Where is deathly hallows??
The Holy Bible is in number 1 place. ✝️🙏🏻
Conveniently left out.
@@sheshotjfk8375 Reading your comments here, it looks like you are suspecting some sort of agenda here. I think it was left out because it's just a different kind of book. A collection of several texts from several authors, different versions, etc. -- I think it's good to limit this to novels, I would have even left out the non-fiction books. I mean, the 1997 phonebook from Mexico City should probably be on that list, too, or the classic 7 by 5 inch ruled Moleskine notebook, if we consider ALL books.
No, that's the Qur'an.

I was working at Barnes and Noble bookstore when The Da Vinci Code was released. It was just your average book on a shelf that no one knew about until the Catholic Church made a stink about it, and we could not keep it on the shelf! We had so many customers asking when the next batch of books would come in, it was crazy.
My most memorable moment was when a priest visited our book store and prayed for us because we were exposed to the devil's work. He got so angry when I told him it was just a typical airport page turner. He told me I didn't understand how dangerous that book was. That dude was nuts.
I enjoyed seeing the Harry Potter fans show up for the book releases, they made it fun. They would show up for the midnight releases all dressed up. It was cool.
One thing I don't like about the comments I'm reading is the fact that a lot of you people are snobs, saying that your book is literature, and not any one else's. That's one thing I do not miss about working in a bookstore is dealing with snobs like you in person.
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm an author and it gave me food for thought. I'm also Catholic so the idea of writing a book to anger the church sounds like fun to me. I know the church has pissed me off over the years. 😅😅😅
I haven't read the book but if it's anything that opposes the word of God or God's existence in anyway then it must be destructive. We are God's création and to make content to oppose his word is sin

Conveniently left that one out
Not odd. We just have no reliable source for sales history when it comes to the Bible.
It is far and away the best-selling work of fiction of all time.
@@charcolew But there are multiple problems. Not only is there a lacking reliable source for the sales, it is also given as a gift rather than for sale. And it is also technically a collection of books rather than 1 book on itself.
@@KAvanAlten The Guinness Book of World Records seems to think there's a reliable enough source to put The Bible in their book as the record holder. They are a notoriously stingy group when it comes to verification.
It's really sad that classics like The Three Musqueteers, The Count of Montecristo, Ivanhoe, Treasure Island, Robinson Crusoe, The Call of the Wild, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Lost World, Death on the Nile, Murder on the Orient Express and lots of Jules Verne masterpieces aren't among the most selling books. Many of the books on this list aren't even literature.
I was shocked having known that many school languistic teachers in Europe have never head of Jules Verne!
....like many of the books you've listed.
I like Alexandre Dumas and Jules Verne, but their books weren't serious literature. They were the Michael Crichtons and Dean Koontzes of their time.
I wouldn’t consider most of those to be “literature” either, depending on your definition of literature.
@@john.premose You will find that everything depends on one's definitions.
I am from the same city as Miguel de Cervantes. I even live super near to his house
Quixote is just too good, and it basically started the modern novel genre
I hated it!
I'm so happy that with Cervantes a true classic won this race - whats about the bible?
Where is Shakespeare ?
Shakespeare is divided over 37 different books.
Zzz
The Lord of the Rings has been translated in 38 languages.
Hans Christian Andersens fairytales have been translated to 125+ languages and is strangely not on the list, which is as usual quite anglocentric. Thor Heyerdahl's book about the Kon Tiki expedition has been translated to more than 70 languages and passed 50 million copies sold decades ago, but is not on the list. And where is Jules Verne? Losing to the Hite report and American self-help books? Right...
All the round figures, with most of the Harry Potter books ending up selling the same amount, tells that this list is based mostly on pure guesswork. Most likely they have found some statistics for one or two countries (US+GB?) and tried to extrapolate their findings to the whole world. Not exactly a new phenomenon on UA-cam, there are lots of dodgy statistics around.

Interesting. No Dostoevsky. Hard to trust a list without him on it. Though, this list isn't all too surprising. It's all about marketability, as well as likability. Actually, Don Quixpte seems like a weird one to be even on this list, let alone number one. Makes me think most of those sales must be for schools. I don't really remember Don Quixote but, I do remember it being a bit like Shakespeare and hard to read. I guess there may be better translations, or perhaps it's fame has led it to being widely bought by literary fanatics. Though, I wouldn't think there's that many people out there that even care about classical literature. Hell, Shakespeare's not even on here. I hope my reread of this classic doesn't disappoint. I have it on my shelf but, I'm a bit nervous to revisit it. Maybe I just need to crack that puppy open and check her out. I think that's what I'll do.
Literally In the whole video I was just searching for Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment "
Shakespeare wrote plays. Is there a big book market for plays? Besides by Shakespeare what plays are people picking up at the book store?
