America's Favorite Book Revealed

(April 9) - Americans have a clear favorite when it comes to books: the Bible. A new Harris Poll ranks the 10 most popular books in the United States, and the Bible comes out way ahead. Get the full story from Reuters, and click through the gallery to see what other books made the top 10 list.


1. The Bible
2. Gone With The Wind
3. The Lord Of The Rings
4. Harry Potter books
5. The Stand
6. The DaVinci Code
7. To Kill A Mockingbird
8. Angels & Demons
9. Atlas Shrugged
10. The Catcher In The Rye

I loved King's Stand but didn't expect it to be on this list. Never understood the appeal of CITR - thought it was boring. And isn't the Bible the best selling book in the world?



Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi

I've read (or seen the movie versions) of most of those.

Atlas Shrugged coming in ninth is just another reason why America is beginning to go to hell. There is no way books like Angels and Demons and The Davinci Code (two books I enjoyed) should be above it.

Ask the same question again in ten years and the Tom Brown and Harry Potter books won't be on that list.

The religious zealots will always get the Bible is first place.

Catcher in the Rye sucked. The only reason it's on that list is because it's so popular for being banned. I was glad when the main character got his ass beat by a pimp cuz he's a pathetic bitch.

In the earlier tallies, Atlas Shrugged had gotten second place consistently.
