Who else loves the story of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza?

A couple of those owe high school English teachers some commission 😭😭

Bible, Geeta, Quran left the chat

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 😭

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!

Man, I bet that Miguel Cervantes fellow is living it up right now

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 😭❤️❤️

The Bible is number one, by far.

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.

tell me why I felt proud to see a tale of two cities as though dickens is some underrated, underground writer

Agatha Christie was only outsold by Shakespeare and the Bible which is the most printed book of all time

Tolkien still ruling, as he should

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!

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.

A Tale Of Two Cities... Unknown to many still rocks!!! "It was the best of times....It was the worst of times...."

The tale of two cities. "Even the heart nearest to it is a mystery to it... "❤

agatha christies and then there were none is just such a genius mystery novel

The Bible holds the esteemed title of the best-selling book in history, with over 5 billion copies sold (Guinness World Records).

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.

I’d never imagine Don Quixote and A Tale of Two Cities to be so high in the list

I am from the same city as Miguel de Cervantes. I even live super near to his house

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.

Harry Potter performance shows how big of a cultural event it was since the higher entries are far older books with more years to sell. Curious to see if it would dethrone Don Quijote in the same time span. I remember buying the last two HP books in english because some clever folks in france sold them here before the translation was available, around a month after

Quixote is just too good, and it basically started the modern novel genre

Stephen King has sold over 400 million books…. Perhaps only a million copies per book…? 😅

where does the data come from? is there a website where i can see how many copies of a book have sold?

El Quijote será insuperable!

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.

When my kid was born we got 3 copies of Tje Very Hungry Caterpillar 😂

Where is deathly hallows??

Source?

No Stephen King? wtf

Harry Potter appears in a tier list, Harry Potter destroys the tier list

John 13:34 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another

Just finished "Run Riley Run" by Jason Diggle - Wow - Second book I've read from this author. "Queen of Diamonds" was awesome too - but I think Riley just pips it. On to the next one...

Where is Shakespeare ?

No way the hungry caterpillar is so low on the list.

"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.

Really is pretty insane to think about...reading peter rabbit as a kid not even knowing it sold so many millions!

I'm so happy that with Cervantes a true classic won this race - whats about the bible?

I was just waiting for Agatha christie ❤

Waited for Game of Thrones❤

The Lord of the Rings has been translated in 38 languages.

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.

Awesome video nobody has made a video like this

No CS Lewis?

El libro más vendido es en Español 🤗

Is this counting translations into other languages?

how can "a song of ice and fire" not be included

I'm not sure who is Don Quixote, prob i should read

HELLO....Do you have any information information about books "Risale - nur" written by Said Nursi??

What's the name of the background music, please?

I find it hard to believe that multiple Harry Potter books have sold exactly 75 million copies.

I thought it was Bible.

was not expecting don a la mancha to be #1 here but pleasantly surprised ❤

Don Quixote is now 500 million and one. I just bought it a few days ago.

Good to see Spock on the list.

Sophie’s world is so good! Read it as a elementary student for fun.

I think it's just a rough estimation.

What about the Bible? I mean, that book has been in libraries for like centuries or something, no?

Pensé que Cien Años de Soledad saldría en la lista. En todo caso muy buen vídeo. Aupa España!

I cant i cant believe you didn't put the number one best seller of all time which leaves all these in the dust at 5 billion and the second greatest seller Pilgrams Progress

First one should be Bible. It has sold over 5 billion copies and the number continues to grow. It is even listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

I'm honored to be Spaniard for sure.

They should have put the Bible in there. Number one best seller of all time.

Could someone tell me where’s Harry Potter 7 😢

Two things. I read…a lot! I’ve never even heard of about a third of these books. Yes, they’ve been purchased. But how many have actually been read?

Song name?

JK Rowling: “Tell them bring me my money”

Some of these have sales number bumped up because of bulk sales for schools.

How about The Wheel of Time series which has sold over 90 million copies??!!

No stormlight archive ah.....

Шерлок Холмс?

amazing work very content I have seen like that.

Where’s Deathly Hallows? Did you get your info from a source from lime 2006 or something?

Wayne Dyer? Jeffrey Archer? Dan Brown? Shere Hite? Louise Hay? Napoleon Hill? “That the masses may learn to read will in the long run corrupt not only reading but thinking as well. Another century of readers and the spirit itself will stink.” No Zarathustra? No surprise, really.

I wonder where the numbers came from. I doubt that The Alchemist hit 50 million

Tommy Holger "Perfume of a Millionaire"😍

Thanks so much for sharing...

This is an erroneous and misleading list, because the terms weren't defined, and the source was not identified: 1) What is the definition of "book"? If it's anything that's printed on paper, fiction or nonfiction, then the Bible and the Quran should be on this list (and no, I'm not a religious person trying to push a personal agenda, I'm just stating a fact). 2) What is the definition of "best-selling"? Is it the total number of books sold, or the total amount of money made by each title? Not all books cost the same. Also, just because a book is printed by a publisher and then sent to distributors and stores, does not mean that book was bought by a customer. In the US, the industry standard for returns in about 30%. So just because a publisher printed a million copies doesn't mean they all sold. 3) Does this include e-books? 4) What time period does this cover? I know it says "Best-selling Books Ever," but does that really include everything printed since the days of Egyptian papyrus scrolls? 5) Does this include books sold around the world in every country? And if so, does it include translations of these same titles into other languages? And if so, from where did this information originate? Did every country in the world provide accurate and trustworthy numbers about every book ever sold? While this is an interesting list, it would be more accurate to identify the source of the information, and label it something like "The Top 50 English-Language Titles from the New York Times Bestsellers List in the Past 100 Years."

Where´s The Godfather and The Bible?

“The fundamentals of Business” by Michael Scott, over 1 billion sold. More than the Bible. I’m not surprised.

I can think of multiple reasons for why the bible should not be included >It is a collection of books from many different authors most of who are anonymous and lived hundreds of years apart. >There are hundreds of different translations and interpretations of the bible >There is both a Christian bible that has the new testament and a Hebrew Bible that only contains the old testament this difference is a big enough difference to basically consider them to be two separate books

Segundo o GUINNESS BOOK, a BIBLIA SAGRADA é o LIVRO mais vendido de todos os Tempos Com mais de Cinco Bilhões de copias vendidas Em Todo o mundo desde o Século XIX.

What about the Iliad and the Odyssey?

No Bible. I will now remember that rankings from this channel are dishonest.

How did they miss the Bible?

Второе место Библия 2,5 миллиарда копий И первое место дамы и господа 3 миллиарда копий самая читаемая и самая заучиваемая книга в мире Священный Коран

I just love And Then There Were None and I'm so happy that it ranked so high! But... seriously? A man fighting windmills is the best selling book of all time?

"The Kid Gallagher Story " by Robert C Bauer is in women's nightstands everywhere now for a reason.

Wait, Don Quixote? I didn't know Oda was inspired by a 17th century book.

Most books are pretty good imho

Those who say, "where is the Quran?". The Quran is given as a gift for free to Muslims and non Muslims so it can't be on a list of "The best selling books". But it's definitely one of the most read. I mean 200,000,000 people worldwide have memorized it.

I was expecting Les Miserables, Gone with the Wind, The Three Musketeers, The Count of Montecristo, Great Expectations, and a few others to be on this list Probably your sources are restricted.

Where one piece

I've always heard it was the Bible and Sherlock Holmes.

Americans and british speak about Shakespeare but the winner is the spanish Don Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. 🎉🤘🏻

where is Maozedong's Little Red Book？

Nah, as far as I know #1 The Bible #2 Shakespeare's scripts #3 Agatha Christie's books

Bro, the Bible was the first thing that came to my mind when I read the thumbnail.
