1000 most common books in US libraries

Posted by Paul Raven @ 21-03-2006 in Uncategorized

Okay, here’s a post for my fellow bookworms; a list of the thousand books most commonly found in United States libraries. The Bible is at number one, unsurprisingly. But the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy is in there at eight, being way more common than almost all of Shakespeare’s works! I must try to find something similar for UK libraries - a comparison would be interesting.
