Read 12 (15 if you count each Lord of the Rings Book sepately 19 if you add in the rest of the Hitchhikers Guide) with several I want to read.
Read 22, want to read 4. This is a very interesting list. Numbers of books sold is a good thermometer to guide book readers.Just to remind some of the commentators, this is "number of books sold in all time" according to sources of Wikipedia .
I feel that GOODREADS should sponsor its own List of Best Selling Books of All Time.
There is a good list of classics with downloads available here http://www.readingandgames.com/popula...
Tom Corson-Knowles, the author who founded Bestseller Ranking Pro, spent six long years trying to get a traditional publishing deal (and failed miserably). He finally decided to self publish his first book on Kindle in February, 2012.That one decision changed his life (and the lives of the more than 30,000 authors he's since taught how to write, publish and market their books professionally).
Just twelve months after self publishing his first book, Tom had his first $12,000+ month from Kindle ebook royalties alone.
In Bestseller Ranking Pro, Tom will share with you his step-by-step system for becoming a bestselling author.
These strategies have also helped Tom and his private publishing clients create more than sixty-seven #1 Amazon bestselling books and counting.
If you're going to write, publish or promote a book this year, you need to see this:

I read only 26 of these but will continue! The Prophet is an amazing read,and has sold 20 million copies in 20 languages. Good reason for that.
I couldn't agree with you more, considering the bible has sold 10x the amount of books as Don Quoti (500 Million) and just over 9x as many books the Works of Mao Zedong (Tse-Tung) which sold 800 milion or so. I think the list is a little flawed, although there are some awesome books in there, some which I have read more than once.
19 out of 100 (one more acutally, as I've read The Name of the Rose with Postscript but it isn't mentioned here; just The Name of the Rose).
Sadly I have only read 14 of these, and offshoots thereof. For instance all of Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, some other Charles Dicken's etc. I used to read 9 books a week, but now, maybe 1, but getting back into it. I love older reads, from times gone by, right now working on Earl Stanley Gardner, I have a nice bound book with Perry Mason stories in them. Next I think I will read Agatha Christie, I don't remember what I have read in the past, but I have read And then there were none a few times, which was, and still is a good read. I know the Alchemist was awesome, as was the Kite Runner, and The Time Keeper, to mention a few. These lists are really hard to make LOL.
